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.
More businesses, food agencies, and communities know about the benefits of donating surplus food.
Food donors and food assistance nonprofits collaborating to build a more efficient and sustainable food system.
A shift in which more entities give away surplus food and join efforts to reduce food waste.
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 welcomed in businesses across Northern Virginia and Washington, DC.
A strong and sustainable food system that prioritizes food recovery, helping fight hunger systematically.
A drop in environmental and economic impact. Clear reductions in GHG emissions and cost savings throughout the food system.
Remove barriers like stigma and inconvenience. Everyone can get help without fear or judgment.
To track our impact, we consider the following:
How our work is changing the food recovery scene. How we are making surplus food donations more common. How effectively we mobilize partnerships and resources to expand food redistribution. How we drive systemic change within the food industry and communities to prioritize sustainability and food security.
We will continue to drive progress until everyone eats well when nothing goes to waste.
Reducing hunger and waste by connecting surplus food to unmet demand using smart logistics and technology.
