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 agency 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.
Increased awareness and understanding of the benefits of surplus food donation among businesses, food agencies, and communities.
A growing network of food donor partners and redistribution agencies collaborating to create a more efficient, sustainable food system.
Transformation in business and agency practices, where more entities adopt the donation of surplus food and actively participate in reducing food waste.
Food agencies have access to a steady and reliable supply of high-quality donations, empowering them to serve more individuals and families in need.
Surplus food donation becomes a widespread and normalized practice across businesses in the Northern Virginia and Washington, DC regions.
A sustainable, resilient food system where food recovery is the standard and hunger is systematically alleviated.
Significant reduction in environmental and economic impact, with measurable decreases in food waste-related GHG emissions and cost savings across the food system.
Reduction of barriers such as stigma, shame, and inconvenience, creating a dignified, seamless food assistance system where everyone can access help without fear or judgment.
To track our impact, we consider the following:
How our efforts are transforming the food recovery landscape and normalizing surplus food donations.
How effectively we mobilize partnerships and resources to expand food redistribution.
The extent to which we drive systemic change within the food industry and communities to prioritize sustainability and food security.
We will continue to drive progress until there is no waste and nutritious food for all.
Reducing the waste of nutritious food in northern virginia and Washington, DC. We bridge the gap between surplus and unmet demand with smart logistics and technology.
