Inspired by the documentary Just Eat It: A Food Waste Story, David Schein, a local school teacher, started collecting food from grocery stores that would have otherwise been thrown away. Alongside volunteers, he started delivering to charities with food programs and then expanded to food box delivery for 9 struggling families. Now, we operate out of a warehouse located in Mount Pleasant, have 3 trucks on the road 7 days a week and feed over 11,000 individuals each week across all our programs.
