What if we could feed 1.9 million incarcerated individuals, support farmers and heal the planet?

Food in Prison

The food isn’t just poor in quality—it poses a serious health risk. Inmates in the U.S. are six times more likely to suffer from malnutrition or contract a foodborne illness.

Abundance

Approximately 30-40% of the U.S. food supply is wasted each year, amounting to around 119 billion pounds of food.

The TEAM

We are a team of 11 young leaders who are actively  delivering high-quality, fresh food to prisons across the state of Oregon.​

OUR misson

To ensure all adults in custody have access to nourishing food.
​

Support

We begin by supporting farmers, grocery stores, and food recovery nonprofits in managing their surplus food. Recognizing that no one wants to see food go to waste, we are here to ensure it finds a meaningful purpose.​

Move

By collecting and redistributing this food, we help farmers track their positive impact through metrics like total GHG emissions avoided (tons of CO2e) and total water footprint reduction (gallons). As a nonprofit, our food providers' donations are tax deductible!

Feed

Our final step is delivering this surplus directly to prisons and community partners, providing high-quality, dignified food to underserved and inaccessible populations across Oregon.​

$2.25 rescues one pound of nutritious food from waste and delivers it to an incarcerated individual.
