Fund the food rescue network

Twenty-four pallets proved the opportunity.

NEEDS Foundation has received its first distribution load into Los Angeles cold storage. Now we are raising $250,000 in net six-month operating capacity to move that inventory, support the core team, activate recovery routes, and prepare the next hubs.

Why NEEDS

One dependable route is more useful than a pile of promises.

We coordinate food rescue logistics, provider intake, receiver matching, volunteer support, documentation, and sponsor-backed route capacity so short-window food can be used responsibly.

That means less guesswork for providers, clearer handoffs for community partners, and a practical place for supporters to keep the work moving.
