WHAT WE DO

We’re fighting climate change by eliminating food waste

We’re Make Food Not Waste–a community of people who know that food is better eaten than wasted. It’s better for your budget, better for our community, and better for our planet.

Our mission is to keep food out of landfills and slow climate change by creating lasting solutions to food waste through education, food upcycling, and advocacy.

What our goal? We’re cutting Michigan’s food waste in half by 2030.

The 2030 Project

We are cutting Michigan’s food waste in half by 2030 by leading engagement, coordinating with national partners, assessing data, and supporting recommendation development.

Upcycling Kitchens

We collect excess produce from farms, grocery stores, and various food distributors, along with unexpected and spare ingredients generously provided by local restaurants.

Educating Businesses

By joining The Pledge™️ or The Primer on food waste, restaurants commit to reducing their carbon footprints, saving money, and giving back to the community.
