About us

Sur+ is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit food recovery organization.

Right now, fresh food is going to waste while families go hungry. Sur+ exists to change that by eliminating the coordination and logistical barriers that keep surplus food from reaching people who need it.

Working alongside community partners across the DMV, Sur+ rescues surplus food and ensures it moves swiftly and safely to where it matters most.

We're building a logistics engine that makes surplus donation effortless for businesses and accessible for communities.
