Sur+ was founded in 2025, and we're in the exciting early stages of building our infrastructure. Once operations begin, here's how we'll measure our impact.
pounds of surplus food rescued
meals provided to those in need
total retail value of surplus food rescued and redistributed
financial cost savings from diverted food waste
pounds of greenhouse gas emissions diverted
communities served through our direct-to-community program
businesses donating surplus
food assistance partners (e.g. food banks)
We are making the act of discarding perfectly good food unreasonable and the process of sharing it with those in need simple.
Businesses, food agencies, and communities know about waste and the benefits of donating surplus food.
Food donors and food-assistance nonprofits collaborate to build a more efficient, sustainable system.
We aim to create a major shift, reducing food waste and using surplus food to nourish communities.
Food agencies get a steady supply of quality donations. This helps them serve more individuals and families in need.
Surplus food donation is normal and integrated for businesses across Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C.
A strong, sustainable food system prioritizes food recovery, helping fight hunger systematically.
We'll feel environmental and economic impact, with clear reductions in GHG emissions and cost savings in the food system.
Access to food should be accessible, convenient, and free of stigma. Everyone can get food without fear or judgment.
To track our impact, we consider how we are:
- Changing the food recovery scene
- Making surplus food donations more common
- Mobilizing partnerships and resources to expand food redistribution
- Driving systemic change within the food industry and communities to prioritize sustainability and food security.
We will continue to drive progress until everyone eats well and nothing goes to waste.
