WASTE NOT WANT NOT INC

Connecting the dots between surplus food and hungry people since 1990

Orange Park, FL   |  wastenotflorida.com

Mission

Waste Not Want Not exists to prevent the discarding of items that can be used to fight hunger and poverty in our community. We do this by rescuing food daily from numerous sources for distribution to load charitable organizations, and through other cost-effective, volunteer-driven initiatives. Every year, one-quarter of the food produced in America is thrown away before it reaches a consumer. While we, as a nation, annually discard 27 million tons of wholesome food, more than 38 million Americans suffer from food insecurity. Waste Not Waste Not is the smart response to this disconnect between abundance and need.
