SURPLUS PROJECT

The Surplus Project is a local, community-based organization that works to reduce commercial food waste and increase the amount of safe, nutritious food for those in our community who struggle with hunger... The Surplus Project is a proven entity. Our pilot program has been successful and our institutional backing provides ongoing support and supervision. Together with other organizations we have created a model that is ready and able to scale up to transform our community: ensuring that too much food does not create too much waste, but instead creates food security for thousands... Through collaboration with local partners, we salvage & package nutritious food. Our partners receive handler's licenses and package leftover cafeteria food into healthy, single-serve, ready-to-eat meals. Reducing waste and taking responsibility for local waste reduction.
