Each day in Silicon Valley, tens of thousands of pounds of food and goods are dumped into landfills and go to waste, while one in four people experience food insecurity.
Hunger at Home works with local restaurants, convention centers, hotels, and sports stadiums to collect surplus food and goods to distribute to the hungry and homeless through our vast network of nonprofit partners. Hunger at Home has recovered and repurposed enough food to provide 12.6 million meals since 2015.
Hunger at Home delivers leading edge solutions that build food security and self-sufficiency for a healthier and more equitable Silicon Valley.

Created in 2020, the Hunger at Home Youth Council is made up of students with a passion for ending food insecurity and growing sustainability efforts in our community. The council is made up of students from high schools throughout Silicon Valley who are dedicated to supporting the initiatives and activities of Hunger at Home through volunteer efforts. The council brings an important perspective and voice to Hunger at Home’s work as next generation leaders of our community and stewards of the environment.
Not only does rescuing food and supplies help those in need in our community, it has a significant positive effect on our local environment.
The number of rescued meals distributed by us and our nonprofit partners.
The amount of food diverted from our local landfill - equal to 303 dump trucks.
The amount of food waste carbon emissions averted, which is equal to eliminating 12.9 million vehicles miles driven.
The amount of water saved - enough to fill 14,332 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
