Shifting Food Surplus Into Community Strength
Join our movement at the intersection of food justice and climate action. Together, let's create a more inclusive, regenerative food system through recovery, employment, and advocacy.
What We Do
At Food Shift, we transform surplus food into opportunities. Since 2012, we’ve been reducing wasted food by recovering food that would otherwise go to waste to nourish our neighbors in the San Francisco Bay Area. We uplift what we've learned as community wisdom, sharing solutions globally. Together, we’re building a stronger, more equitable food system.
Explore Food Shift’s unique model
Food Shift combines surplus recovery, inclusive employment and food policy advocacy to create a stronger, more inclusive food system.
Our flagship program recovers surplus food and redistributes it to communities in need, reducing wasted food and nourishing those who need it most.
We help organizations navigate California’s food recovery regulations with expertise rooted in on-the-ground experience.
We provide justice, equity, diversity and inclusion training plus resources to build inclusive systems that serve everyone.
We provide on-site and virtual job readiness training for folks overcoming employment discrimination while giving back to their community.
Please note that we do not accept prepared food donations at this time. If you have prepared food to donate, we encourage you to reach out to our partner, CityTeam.
