Our Vision

When they had all had enough to eat, Jesus said to his disciples, "Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted." John 6:12 (NIV)

Our Mission

• Expand our global network linking available sources of surplus food to those in need through existing charitable organizations.
• Grow our company in a manner that provides a level of profitability necessary to carry out our vision.

Our Business

Food Donation Connection provides an alternative to discarding surplus wholesome food by linking food service donors with surplus food to local hunger relief agencies. We do this by creating and maintaining an efficient communication and reporting network that links available sources of food to those in need through these existing charitable organizations. View our recent National Restaurant Association Webinar, "Turn Surplus Food into Tax Savings to Help End Hunger."

Nation's Restaurant News reports that Restaurants [&] food banks team up as need grows... Given the growing need for hunger relief, food banks, governments and restaurant operators are rethinking those [existing] systems and trying to find a better way to redirect excess prepared food to hungry stomachs rather than landfills."
