Waste Not - Flash Required
Our Mission is to alleviate local hunger. We do this by rescuing excess perishable food that would otherwise go to waste and delivering it to a diverse network of agencies and organizations that feed the hungry.

How We're Different

WASTE NOT AT WORK! We feed the hungry with perishable food that would otherwise go to waste. Waste Not is a behind-the-scenes, logistical marvel, providing food daily to those who need it most. We are not a food bank. We do not warehouse food, yet we provide a minimum of 7,000 pounds of food daily to a diverse network of organizations and agencies that feed the hungry including schools, after-school programs, transition homes, rehabilitation centers, daycare centers and senior facilities.

Making a Difference:
Turning Excess Restaurant Food Into Kids' Meals

If you didn’t happen to catch this recent segment on NBC’s Rock Center, please take a moment to view this very timely and important interview with Drew Matson, CEO of Darden Restaurants, who discusses Darden’s Harvest Program, their program for the donation of excess food to organizations that feed the hungry.  To date, they have donated more than 53 million pounds of excess food.  The interview is in Florida but the statistics of 1 in 4 children going to bed hungry are exactly the same in Arizona…in Maricopa County!

Waste Not is a proud local partner of Darden, collecting excess food from Olive Garden, Red Lobster and Capital Grille locations throughout metro Phoenix.

Darden has an incredible corporate conscience for helping feed the hungry.  Please join us in congratulating them for the wonderful job they do in helping us help feed our hungry neighbors!
