Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Hunger and poverty will always be with us, and our goal is to create the most efficient system to address these needs in the lower Florida Keys.

Create efficiencies by utilizing primarily volunteers to deliver services as well as securing donated food that would otherwise go to waste through a organized system of food recovery.

Tremendous refrigeration and storage capacity as well as transportation capacity of large amounts of donated food seven days per week.

With six refrigerated trucks on the road we secure tens of thousands of pounds of donated food each week. All of this food would've otherwise gone to waste even though it is still healthy and nutritious if consumed quickly.
