Our Work

Food Shift drives equitable, climate-smart food recovery by rescuing quality edible surplus food and nourishing our neighbors. We partner with schools, businesses, and local governments to reduce wasted food and expand community food access through SB 1383 education. Our food recovery program is our platform for intergenerational learning and apprenticeships to overcome employment discrimination.
