Mission Statement
Pumpkins For Pigs Foundation's mission is to reduce food waste in our communities by diverting viable foodstuffs including pumpkins to farms, animal sanctuaries, and rescues for feed or compost."We reduce food waste one pumpkin at a time."
About This Cause
Over the past 7 years, we have grown to 600 donation sites in 43 states and Canada. In 2023, we diverted 1.6 million pounds of pumpkins and other foodstuffs from landfills and into the mouths of very hungry and happy animals, which prevented over 344 tons of CO2. We divert edible foodstuffs that would otherwise be discarded in landfills to animals for feed or compost by providing the general public with a network of donation sites accepting these items. Through this network, non-food items are also diverted from landfills such as hay/straw bails, holiday trees, and kiddie pools. Our educational efforts are intended to prevent food waste before it starts through recommendations on meal planning, buying less, and composting scraps. We create awareness offood waste in the world around us — starting in the communities we live in. Through this work, we strive to build, bring together, and inspire communities to help each otherthrough collaboration with humans and animals. We aspire to engage the hundreds of small businesses in our communities, through their ingenuity, creativity, and grit, to provide uswith amazing food, hand-made products, and so much more...
