We are partnered with local farms and grocers, who donate unwanted food directly to us and we process it into food, which we distribute through our network to anyone who needs it. We direct our feeding program at those children whose families make too much for them to be helped by existing programs—the working poor.
There is abundant food available.
There is enough surplus food, beyond what is already donated to existing food charities, that we can feed every child who is hungry, all the food they want; all day, every day.

In 2016 Stop & Shop built an anaerobic food composting system to power their distribution plant, and as their spokesman Philip Tracey said, “After giving surplus food and discontinued items to food banks, the Stop & Shop stores in New England still throw out 95 tons of food every day. The recycling facility is the answer.”

According to the National Food bank there are “More than 260,000 children in Massachusetts face hunger on a regular basis.” USDA data reveals that 57% of food-insecure people earn more than the federal poverty level, and 60% of people living in poor households are food secure.
“Almost half of the children in our region are hungry.”
