Food Finders, Inc.

A nonprofit organization

$16,219 raised by 129 donors

Food Finders rescues more than 1 MILLION pounds of food each month and continues to be a crucial resource to nonprofits providing food in the Long Beach area and throughout Southern CA. Long Beach is where it all began, whether it is large shelters and missions or small pantries and youth programs, we serve them all. Our outreach includes a large section of the community, supported by food donors, volunteers and businesses that are all working together to ensure nobody has to struggle to find food. Last year 1 in 5 people experienced food insecurity, and we're here to make sure that statistic improves. We accomplish this with a small dedicated staff and an army of amazing "Food Rescue Hero" volunteers.

Testimonials

We hear wonderful feedback from the people we serve at our Food Hub in West Long Beach. They share on how our food, given free of charge, is making a positive impact:

"I always get here early, I like to be first and watch the process of putting together the food. I like how you distribute everything and don't hold anything back" (Roberto)

"My family likes the fresh peppers and other foods you give! This helps us make it to our next paycheck without having our family skip meals. We also use the healthy snacks too." (Maria)

"Thank you for having good food here. I like that you have more information to save money by stretching my food budget and the recipe samples are fresh." (Irma)

"Thanksgiving was going to be difficult this year because my wife of 35 years passed away from covid this year. At least we know that we will have something good to eat and we see how much other people care in Long Beach. Thank you". (Jack)

Mission

Our mission is to eliminate hunger and food waste while improving nutrition in food-insecure communities. This Long Beach Gives campaign helps our Food Hub/Community Marketplace in West Long Beach. This refrigerated storage container houses multiple pallets of perishable food to benefit this food desert community by giving residents access to receive meat, poultry, produce and dairy products during food distributions. Please help us reach our goal of $6,000.
