Food Finders
Rescuing Food, Ending Hunger
Food Finders was founded in 1989 to address the disparity between the amount of food being thrown away and the amount of people experiencing hunger daily. Food Finders was quickly formed, and restaurants, grocers and other food vendors were encouraged to donated food overages to local shelters, missions and pantries serving people in need. The organization grew from serving local Long Beach nonprofits to one that now serves much of Southern California, with more than 350 nonprofit partners, over 700 food donors and an average of 11 million pounds of food rescued annually to address hunger and reduce food waste.
