Local Organizations

Donate Don't Dump is a teen run non-profit determined to stop commercial food waste, promote good nutrition, and public health.

We encourage grocery stores, growers, and food companies to donate their surplus food, not dump it. We engage, empower, and inspire youth to promote public health initiatives to build healthier communities.

Our mission is to rescue surplus food, help the hungry, and promote public health through education and peer-to-peer advocacy.

EarthShare of Texas is a 501(c)3 non-profit committed to making environmental support as easy as possible by giving workers the ability to donate through payroll contribution campaigns.

No matter what size your workforce, we can assist you in developing a tailored program that offers dynamic opportunities to better connect your employees with corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability goals.
