Help build Phase Two of Food For Today
Good food can go to waste even when a grocery store is ready to donate it. Someone has to work with store managers, department heads, and employees to set up donations, train volunteers to pick up the food, and coordinate with a pantry or food bank that can receive it. Phase Two is about building the team that will make those connections and help rescue more food for our neighbors.
Your gift will help us bring on the people who will develop partnerships with grocery chains, bring individual stores on board, and build relationships with local churches and community organizations. It will also help us set up the tools they’ll use to schedule volunteers, coordinate pickups, and track how much food we rescue. Give as the Spirit leads and help us put this team to work.

Built. Tested. It Works.
In a 90-day pilot at one grocery store, our team found good surplus food in the backroom, packed it safely, and handed it off to local pantries on a dependable schedule. Phase Two builds the people, training, and systems to do it again and again.
Documented results from our completed 90-day pilot.

Standing in the Gap
Good food is available, yet too many families go without. Gaps in staffing, transportation, funding, and access can keep surplus food from reaching the people who need it. Food For Today helps close those gaps through hands-on grocery-store food rescue, volunteer training, and coordination with community partners—turning surplus food into nourishment for our neighbors.
Strengthening food rescue where surplus starts.
Help more good food reach people by strengthening food rescue where it begins: inside the grocery store.
By partnering directly with grocery departments, we remove logistical hurdles, train staff on safe sorting, and ensure quality surplus reaches neighborhood pantries on a dependable schedule.
“Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.”
Help us take the next step.
Your financial support builds the training, logistics, and daily coordination needed to keep nutritious surplus food on family tables.
