Description
We Don’t Waste is an innovative food provider for the hungry. We gather excess food from venues, caterers, restaurants and other local food purveyors, and redistribute these healthy items to underserved populations in Denver and across the Front Range. We maintain strong relationships with local community-based nonprofits, and work to augment their existing food needs. By gathering and redistributing excess food and placing it in the hands of the hungry, we promote a sustainable and resourceful environment directly benefiting those in need.
