Food Saved
Hi there! 👋
We started FreeFoodsNearMe with one simple belief: No one should ever have to worry about finding their next meal.
What began as a small idea has turned into a mission: helping people discover nearby places offering free food, whether that’s a pantry, a local event, a community kitchen, or just another person. We know how tough it can be to ask for help, and how confusing it can be to figure out where to go. That’s why we built a space that makes it easy, judgment-free, and accessible for everyone.
Here EVERYONE can post extra food they have, even if it’s only an extra bag of potatoes, and anyone nearby can find it. Along with that, we also list restaurants, food pantries, community kitchens, and local events offering free meals, because every bit of food shared makes a difference.
Why We Started
This project grew out of a simple thought: there’s already enough food around us, it just doesn’t always reach the people who need it most. We wanted to build a platform that helps reduce waste, fights hunger, and brings people together through small acts of kindness.
Our Belief
Food is more than just something we eat. It represents community, care, and connection. Whether you’re sharing or receiving, there’s no shame here. Everyone deserves access to good food, and everyone has something to give.
Join the Movement
- If you have extra food, post it.
- If you’re looking for food, find it.
- If you know a program or event that should be listed, tell us.
Together, we can make sure less food goes to waste and more people are fed.
Because no one should ever have to go hungry.
