ExtraFood Creates A Triple Impact
On Hunger:
We reach over 8,500 people every week and, in our 8 years of operation, we have rescued and delivered 5,500,000 pounds of food.
On the
Climate Crisis:
We have prevented 475,000 pounds of methane from warming
the planet, equivalent to removing the emissions from 12 million driving miles.
On Systemic
Change:
We are permanently transforming the North Bay’s food system from wasting food to donating it for people in need.
“To say that ExtraFood is near and dear to my heart would be an understatement.
I used to be on the receiving end of food donations and now I get to be on the giving end. It speaks volumes for me. We should provide what we can for who we can.”
