Causes We Support: FoodRecovery.org

Through our membership with 1% for the Planet, UpClear is proud to support FoodRecovery.org— a free platform that connects food donors with nonprofits to fight hunger and reduce waste.

FoodRecovery.org works at both community and industrial scale, linking restaurants, schools, grocers, manufacturers, and warehouses with food pantries, shelters, and mutual aid organizations that can put surplus food to immediate use. The platform is free for all participants, lowering the barrier to donation and making it easy for organizations of any size to take part.

Since 2023, their network of more than 4,200 partners has rescued 181 million pounds of food— the equivalent of 150 million meals. 

Food rescue doesn’t just combat hunger; it also reduces the environmental impact of food waste, such as greenhouse gas production. While 133 billion pounds of food goes to waste in the U.S. each year, organizations like FoodRecovery.org help reduce this problem while getting it to those who need it. One dollar donated to FoodRecovery.org enables them to deliver 55 meals, or 66 pounds of food. 

We’re proud to support them in expanding their network and platform to turn surplus food into nutritious meals, not emissions.

About FoodRecovery.org

FoodRecovery.org is a free online platform that makes food donation simple for organizations of any size — from local restaurants to large-scale manufacturers and distributors. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, they’ve built trusted infrastructure to redirect surplus food away from landfills and toward communities that need it most.
