About Inland Harvest

Everyday Supermarkets, restaurants, caterers, bakeries, schools, hospitals, cafeterias, wholesalers and warehouses for foods discard millions of pounds of good food, its estimated that in the United States 40 percent [1] of the food supply is wasted, and some of that could feed the needy in our communities.

Inland Harvest was established in 1990 to help feed hungry people by transporting surplus safe edible food donated by those mentioned above as well as private individuals to already established feeding programs in the Inland Empire.

It is a unique organization without a physical site. Volunteers are trained for a specific route and use their own vehicle to transport the food to feeding agencies throughout the Inland Empire.

Inland Harvest volunteers will pick up any amount of eatable, safe food from businesses and or institutions in the Inland Empire and take it directly to shelters and community food programs. Since 1990 our volunteers have picked up and transported more than 64 million pounds of good food to locations that feed the hungry that’s almost 53,000,000 meals that have been served!
