end food waste.

eliminate food deserts.

We collect excess food from places including Trader Joes, Slow Dough, and Bread Man with the help of Second Servings that otherwise would have been thrown away.

By the end of 2019, across our thirteen market events, we have collected distributed over 8,000 pounds of food. Our donations range from fresh fruits and vegetables to baked goods to packaged meats.

We distribute food to multi-service centers in neighborhood that qualify as food deserts. (Food Deserts = areas that lack Grocery Stores with Healthy Food Options)

Currently, we have expanded to two locations: the Sunnyside Multi-service center and the Kashmere Multi-service center. In total we helped deliver food to nearly 1,100 Houstonians!
