OUR MISSION IS TO ELIMINATE LOCAL HUNGER. WE DO THIS BY RESCUING EXCESS PERISHABLE FOOD THAT WOULD OTHERWISE GO TO WASTE AND DELIVERING IT THE SAME DAY TO A DIVERSE NETWORK OF AGENCIES THAT FEED THE HUNGRY.
Serving the Valley’s hungry for 20 years
Waste Not was established in 1987 because of one woman’s passionate desire to help feed the Valley’s hungry men, women and children. From humble beginnings with a donated truck, volunteers began rescuing nutritious perishable food that would otherwise go to waste, delivering it to local shelters on a regular basis. Waste Not delivered 2,500 pounds of food to local shelters in its first year. In 1990, Waste Not received its 501 (c) (3) corporate designation and has grown from a volunteer-led, grassroots effort into a full-fledged professional organization utilizing four refrigerated trucks, with a full-time staff of six people and four part-time assistants. In 2006, we delivered just under 1.5 million pounds of nutritious food to more than 80 recipient agencies. Rescuing wholesome food that would otherwise be thrown away and feeding hungry people is still our mission today and is our only initiative.
