About This Cause
Headquartered in Newton, MA, Spoonfuls is a 501c3, non-profit organization that is legitimizing local, immediate, and responsible food rescue. We facilitate the rescue and distribution of healthy, fresh food that would otherwise be discarded. Spoonfuls works efficiently to deliver this food directly to the community organizations and resources where it can have the greatest impact. Spoonfuls is the bridge between abundance and need, leading systemic change in hunger relief. We solidify community resources by connecting grocery stores, produce wholesalers, farms and farmers markets to local meal programs and social service entities serving those in need. Spoonfuls utilizes a direct distribution system where our refrigerated trucks pick up fresh, healthy, perishables foods from donors and deliver it directly to meal centers within the same day. Spoonfuls’ simple but effective model, allows our food donors to support their community, reduce their waste disposal costs and environmental emissions footprint while qualifying for a tax-deduction for their donated food. Our focus on fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains helps our beneficiaries to consistently provide their at-risk clients with healthy and wholesome meals while providing relief to their operating budgets. Since 2010, the Spoonfuls team has rescued and distributed more than 25,000,000 pounds of fresh food in Greater Boston, MetroWest, Worcester County and Hampden County, feeding over 38,000 people each week. Handling perishable and prepared foods requires attention to detail and compliance with the regulations set by the state of Massachusetts. All Spoonfuls employees are ServSafe certified and trained in proper and responsible food handling. There is enough food out there – let’s go get it!
