Abound Food Care

Organization Description

Abound Food Care (previously known as "Waste Not OC") partners with pantries, food banks, and other nonprofits that can receive excess edible food and distribute it to where it’s needed most. We offer guidance, support, and a range of services that help these partners build capacity and strengthen communities. 

Abound Food Care, a registered 501(C)3 corporation, is focused on building a national movement bringing together nonprofit, public, and private partners to eliminate food waste and food insecurity. We believe in the beauty and value of food and that Food Care is the answer for feeding all of America, while protecting our environment and building healthier communities.

Abound Food Care is a non-profit organization committed to recovering excess edible food in order to reduce food waste, lower methane emissions, and combat food insecurity. Operating across multiple jurisdictions in California, we act as consultants—partnering with counties and organizations to design and implement programs that support the recovery and distribution of edible food, ensuring compliance with California’s SB 1383 legislation.
