Let nothing
be wasted.
Leftover Loop connects surplus food with the people who need it, the same day, in your city.
When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.” So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.
Three steps, same day
-
Donors post
Bakeries, grocers and cafés post what's left at closing, with storage needs and a safe-by time.
-
Shelters claim
Pantries and shelters nearby see it first and claim what they can use.
-
Volunteers deliver
A nearby driver picks it up and drops it off, often several stops in one run.
