Fresh Alliance
The post-pandemic world is different, and we're adapting. We now partner Oregon Food Bank's Fresh Alliance program and our volunteer drivers to pick up grocery store donations and deliver them to OFB partner pantries, directly to nearby low-income housing, and to low-income neighborhoods with pop-up pantries. This allows fresh food to get into recipients' hands in a matter of minutes instead of days. We need your help! Join our group on Facebook.

Mission Statement
Waste Not Food Taxi strives to reduce food waste through collection services, education, and community resources, and to make more food available to low-income people without regard for housing, ethnicity, religion, income, or access to other resources. We believe that access to food is a right and throwing edible food into our solid waste system is wrong. We encourage recipients to volunteer as they are able. We believe that working together accomplishes more than working alone, and building community and a sense of purpose benefits everyone.
