About Feeding Charlotte

OUR MISSION

Feeding Charlotte was founded as a 501(c)3 organization in 2020 with a mission to rescue surplus, freshly prepared meals to reduce food waste and feed the hungry. We do this by partnering with organizations, rescuing their leftover fresh meals, and delivering those meals to local nonprofits who feed the hungry.

Why food rescue?

133 billion pounds of food is wasted every year
8% of all greenhouse gas emissions each year is due to food loss and waste
40% of all food produced in the US ends up in the landfill before reaching consumers
Nearly 15% of all households in Mecklenburg County are food insecure
1 in 6 households with children are not sure where they will get their next meal
1 in 10 senior citizens in Mecklenburg County are food insecure
