Our Impact

People

Our frontline staff strives to source not just any food, but food that helps meet the nutritional needs of people facing food insecurity. That’s why we focus on fresh, perishable food like fruits and veggies, dairy, and lean protein. On average, we provide the equivalent of more than 65,000 meals’ worth of food every week.

Planet

Uneaten food consumes 6% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. By keeping good food from entering the waste stream, Spoonfuls prevented more than 6,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent from being emitted into the atmosphere in 2022.

Economy

Wasted food costs the U.S. about $310 billion each year. In 2022, Spoonfuls’ food rescue work prevented $8.3 million worth of food from ending up in the waste stream. Along the way, we saved our vendors, nonprofit partners, and end-recipients money, too.
