How We Impact the Community

Feeding it Forward focuses on solving food insecurity and food waste in Napa County by recovering excess food from “food generators” such as restaurants, food markets, grocery stores, and events. Food is then safely distributed to other organizations that support Napa County residents most in need. We pride ourselves in not duplicating the efforts of other non-profits, instead supporting them.

Some clients who benefit from our recovery actions are affordable housing residents, farm workers, homeless shelters, and the working low income. We prioritize distribution based on clientele needs, appropriateness, storage space, logistical timing, etc. assuring we get food safely to the most in need as quickly as possible.

We are proud that from Oct. 2018 through Dec. 2022, we recovered 439,000+ lbs. of food, feeding thousands of Napa residents while reducing the carbon footprint an equivalent of 151 passenger vehicles driven for a year.

Testimonial

It’s amazing to see what a difference it has made for our residents. They look forward to the food delivery and line up an hour early because the need is there.
