“Hunger is not a lack of food. It’s a lack of connection.”
Connecting communities through shared meals.
According to Feeding America, more than 50 million people in the U.S. turned to food banks, pantries, or free meal programs in 2023, showing that the need for accessible, community-driven food assistance has never been greater.
No one should have to worry about where their next meal will come from. That’s the idea that inspired FreeFoodsNearMe, a platform built to connect people not only with local food pantries, free meal programs, and community resources, but also with each other, allowing residents to share their extra food with neighbors in need.
🌎 Our Mission
FreeFoodsNearMe began with a simple goal: make finding and sharing free food quick, easy, and stigma-free.
Whether you’re a student, a parent, or someone going through a tough time, food assistance should never be complicated.
What makes this platform unique is that it’s for everyone, not just those seeking help.
Residents can post their own extra food, even if it’s only a bag of potatoes, so someone nearby can pick it up instead of it going to waste. It’s about building a cycle of kindness, where sharing food becomes part of everyday life.
