Company Profile

Company Overview

FoodCycle was founded in 2005 by volunteers who recognized the scale of food waste, its impact on vulnerable populations, and its contribution to climate change. With the mission to feed people, not landfills, FoodCycle has grown into an innovative operation, leveraging technology, electric vehicles, solar-powered refrigeration and mobile apps. Working with hundreds of businesses—including Whole Foods, Lazy Acres and Trader Joe’s, to name a few--we rescued more than 10 million pounds of surplus food that would otherwise go to waste, and with our nonprofit partners we delivered more than 8 million meals in 2024.

FoodCycle nourishes food-insecure communities by rescuing and redistributing surplus food that would otherwise go to waste. Ultimately, our work reduces hunger, improves health, and addresses climate change related to food waste in landfills. At the heart of our mission is the simple belief: no one should go hungry while good food goes to waste.
