Sur+ reduces hunger and waste by connecting surplus food to unmet demand using smart logistics and technology.
We raise awareness to close the food waste and food donation knowledge gap. We incentivize and boost motivation to donate surplus food. We provide a streamlined program to match surplus food to unmet demand. And we get food to those in need via partnerships and hyper-local distribution.

Sur+ is committed to helping employees balance the demands of work, family, and personal obligations by offering flexible work schedules. Our goal is to provide greater flexibility while maintaining a productive and efficient work environment. We recognize that not all positions offer the same level of flexibility—warehouse and operations staff, for instance, may face more constraints during peak operational periods than office staff. Nevertheless, we are dedicated to accommodating flexible schedules to the best of our ability, ensuring that all team members have the support they need to thrive both personally and professionally.
Sur+ is committed to employees’ professional development. All team members are provided a $500 annual professional development budget.
