Sharing Excess
Sharing Excess (SE) is a philadelphia-based nonprofit that uses surplus food as a solution to scarcity. While over 40 million people in the us face food insecurity, nearly 40% of the nation's food supply is going to waste. Our mission is to solve the logistical barrier between excess and scarcity by partnering with the largest retailers, wholesalers, and farmers to deliver surplus food to a network of non-profit organizations that alleviate local food insecurity.
