Since our founding, we’ve been focused on building a better food system for everyone. We do that by buying up delicious food that might otherwise go to waste or lesser outcomes and delivering it to your doorstep at a discount—but also by supporting the organizations fighting food insecurity every day. We’ve donated more than 19 million pounds of food to date, and we’re not slowing down anytime soon.
In honor of Hunger Action Month, we’re spotlighting six of our favorite hunger-fighting organizations. When you shop with us, you support their work and you can even donate a box through Feeding America when you’re on our Grocery Subscription plan.

Thanks for supporting Feeding America. I have been working for CT’s food bank for nearly 20 years and love that you are doing this!
I’ve heard of people who have used the misfits market and I would like to try it myself! Thanks Sandy Watwood
