About This Organization

14572163_1121427251246575_7462686376894237502_nFood Forward’s mission is to rescue fresh local produce that would otherwise go to waste, connecting this abundance with people in need and inspiring others to do the same. Food Forward was born in 2009 when Executive Director Rick Nahmias realized the vast amount of wasted fruit he saw in his own neighborhood could become a sustainable source of fresh and nutritious food for food insecure populations. In the last eight years, their mostly volunteer-powered recovery events have rescued more than 35 million pounds (more than 140 million servings) of fresh local produce. Over 1.5 million people in need, across all of Southern California, will receive fresh, free produce from Food Forward this year.

    ABOUT THE GUIDE

    The James Beard Foundation, Food Tank, and Valrhona, along with a prestigious advisory group of food system experts, developed the “Good Food Org Guide.”

    This definitive Guide highlights nonprofit organizations that are doing exemplary work in the United States in the areas of food and agriculture, nutrition and health, hunger and obesity, and food justice.

    Only nonprofit, scholarly, and municipal initiatives have been selected in order to spotlight efforts that are focused on community building and engagement, advocacy, and service.
