Fight2Feed is the 501c3 non profit that seeks to serve our community in need while reducing food waste. The ten year organization is still run by 100% volunteers.
Fight2Feed service has stayed nimble to serve our communities during the most unprecedented time of need. Fight2Feed mission to reduce food waste and serve those who are in need of a fresh and hot meal. Fight2Feed #essentialvolunteers are from local restaurants, BBQ, catering and consulting chefs communities. They volunteer their time to lead our kitchens. Until we find a home of our own, we have worked from borrowed and sponsored kitchens such as the McCormick Place East Kitchen and Little Brothers Friends of the Elderly to name a few. Our goal is to continue serving meals that help our community stay strong and keep our mission running as long as possible. To keep our community safe and share more meals our service has reshaped to now offer curbside pick up and drop offs. We seek volunteers to prep, cook, clean and deliver. We are always seeking volunteers with vehicles to help us rescue and mobilize our food.
