Right now, spring produce is filling up grocery stores — bright strawberries, crisp snap peas, tender asparagus. It's one of the most beautiful times of year to eat.

But nearly 48 million Americans live in food insecure households. That means fresh, nutritious food can feel out of reach, no matter the season.

Here's what we know: this isn't inevitable. When we work together — as neighbors, as communities, as a country — we can make sure everyone has access to the food they need to thrive.

Give now and help move food to neighbors in your community this spring.

Every day, good food has the power to bring people together, nourish families and strengthen communities. 💛

On Stop Food Waste Day, we’re spotlighting the importance of making the most of the food we have — because when more food is shared, more neighbors can enjoy the meals they deserve.

Through partnerships with farmers, retailers and manufacturers, the Feeding America network helps more food reach tables instead of going unused.

Together, we can build a future where every meal matters — and everyone has enough.

This Earth Day, we’re reminded that caring for our planet and caring for each other go hand in hand. 🌎

Every year, 92 billion pounds of surplus food are produced in the U.S.—food that can help nourish our neighbors. Through Feeding America’s food rescue efforts, we’re helping ensure more of that good food reaches people nationwide.

Because protecting our planet starts with how we value what we already have.

2025 was an eventful year and much was accomplished because of your dedication to supporting our neighbors. You stepped up with gifts of funds and food in response to the federal government shutdown and to our request for funds to prepare for increased demand in 2026.

Our community has walked with us and with our neighbors through a challenging year, and together we rose to the occasion. It's an honor to continue working alongside a caring and dedicated community of volunteers, donors, and partners. Thank you for everything you do.

We’re grateful to have you and hope you have a healthy, peaceful, and prosperous New Year!
