About Food Shift:

Since 2012, Food Shift has been developing collaborative models to reduce wasted food, nourish communities, and provide jobs. Our mission is to reduce the harmful impacts of wasted food and improve community health through the recovery, redistribution, processing of surplus food, and job creation. Although our organization is 8 years old, our current model of using rescued food to uplift communities is still at the cutting edge of the food recovery sector. Food Shift Catering, our social enterprise kitchen, provides training and jobs to individuals with barriers to employment and feeds the community.  Food Shift seeks to uplift the most vulnerable in the community through recovered food.
