OUR MISSION
Feed People Not Landfills
FoodCycle LA partnered with GOOGLE to destigmatize food insecurity.
Why It Matters?
The Impacts of Food Waste Are Catastrophic
An estimated 40% of food in the US is thrown into landfills.
Food thrown into landfills releases methane gas and contributes to climate change.
1 in 8 Americans is food insecure — children and the elderly are most at risk.
There is absolutely no reason that edible food should be wasted while people are going hungry.
That shows us that the problem of hunger is not due to scarcity – it is a failure of the imagination, and we can do better.
THE FUTURE OF THIS PLANET IS IN OUR HANDS.
WE’RE WORKING TO CREATE A BETTER SYSTEM!

Leveraging Technology
FOODCYCLE IS FOCUSED ON CREATING NEW SOLUTIONS TO OLD PROBLEMS.
Food Recovery Program
We’re working with donors throughout Los Angeles to connect food with over 160 nonprofits that are feeding people.
Food Oasis Map
We collaborated with the team from Food Oasis to create an up to date resource to help hungry people find food in
Los Angeles.
