Share My Meals addresses the two critical issues of food waste and food insecurity at once with its Meal Recovery Program (MRP). The MRP is a food recovery process, approved by the local health departments, that allows recovery and distribution of surplus meals from the cafeterias of local corporations, schools, universities, hotels and restaurants to food-insecure members of the local community. It is a free service for all stakeholders, powered by our volunteers and supported by a unique technology platform.
Share My Meals launched the Meal Recovery Coalition (MRC), a groundbreaking alliance between corporations, hospitals, educational institutions, government entities, nonprofits, and volunteers which aspires to recover all available prepared meals in New Jersey. The MRC members work together to create a revolutionary new food system that will improve food security and reduce the environmental impact of food waste, and make meal recovery the norm in New Jersey.
For its Harvest Recovery Program, Share My Meals partners with local farms to collect surplus produce. Volunteers help pick, sort, and bag the produce and then deliver it to families in need.
is a 501 (c)3 nonprofit organization, incorporated in NJ, that serves the food insecure community in New Jersey, regardless of their ethnicity, gender, gender identity or expression, disability, age, or faith.
