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.
