While most hunger assistance programs stock shelf-stable pantry items, we focus on fresh, healthy food to sustain a wholesome diet and prevent nutrition-related illnesses. Paired with educational opportunities, food recovery addresses immediate needs while building relationships and fostering a culture of empowered health.

We are happy to accept food donations!
Have more food than you’ll be able to get through? We know that feeling, and we’re happy to take any excess off your hands. Here’s what you need to know about Food to Power accepting food donations.
-
This depends a little bit on what the food is! We can accept almost all food donations on Tuesdays and Saturdays before 11:00 AM. Food donated at this time will go into people’s home that same day.
Cold prepared foods are very welcome Thursdays before 11:00 AM. These meals will go out through our partnerships with Street Petz on the same day.
Please reach out in advance before bringing prepared foods intended to be reheated - food safety standards are different for these items, so they require some additional planning.
-
That’s our favorite kind of food donation!
(They’re all our favorite kind of food donation.)

In general, yes! Our model focuses on getting food back out in a very short period of time.
Many foods have a “best by” or “sell by” date that has little to do with if the food is safe to eat. Double check what kind of date is on your item! Some foods are good past their printed date, and this resource from Care and Share can provide additional timelines for what foods might be good past their date.
-
If you think the item will be good for another three to five days, please feel free to bring it in at our recommended times. We’ll get it back out really quickly!

Amazing! Please fill out this form (or direct the right person at your workplace to do so) so we can start a conversation!
