Thru our food recovery program, ExtraFood is helping to end hunger & wasted food in the Bay Area, CA ExtraFood fills that gap.
(1)

Tons of healthy, fresh food is thrown into landfills in the Bay Area, CA, creating an enormous environmental problem. Yet thousands of residents worry about where their next meal is coming from. There is enough healthy food for all of us in our community, but there has been a critical, missing link between those who have it and those who need it. ExtraFood rescues excess food from any Bay Area business, school and backyard – and immediately delivers it to nonprofit partners serving our community’s most vulnerable children, seniors and families, 365 days a year and free of charge. And ExtraFood’s Community Meals program uses the excess capacity of restaurants and caterers to give freshly-made meals to people in need. Together, we can bring the day when all in our community have the food they need.

Our Operations Manager Maci Jo recently joined our Sonoma Food Recovery Driver Damian and Kathy, Sonoma Expansion Manager, for a ride-along to get a firsthand look at our Sonoma Valley operations.

From picking up surplus food from local businesses to delivering it to community partners, there’s a lot that goes into getting good food where it’s needed most. A ride-along is one of the best ways to experience that work firsthand, and see the impact of our Sonoma team in action!

As we continue to expand our food recovery efforts throughout Sonoma Valley, we’re working to reach more food donors, connect with more community partners, and ultimately get more good food to the people who need it most.

We’re proud of the dedicated people who make food recovery happen every day, and excited to keep growing our impact across Sonoma Valley. 💜

Look at this gorgeous produce that the Marin Montessori Junior High Farm donated to us!

We love seeing schools create opportunities for students to learn firsthand where food comes from, and even better, to grow food that can be shared with people facing hunger in our community.

Through our gleaning program, Share the Bounty, we are proud to redistribute backyard and farm produce like this to local community members who need it most. What an amazing lesson in growing, giving, and making a difference!

We thank the LDS Church for bringing missionaries from all over the world together to sort and donate 5,670 pounds of food to us! All of this shelf stable food like beans, pasta, and flour, was loaded on our truck and redistributed to Canal Alliance by our staff driver, Axel. Canal Alliance can now help provide this nourishing food to local families and community members who desperately need it. Great teamwork helping people facing hunger!
