Join Food Finders in our mission to Stamp Out Hunger!

Stamp Out Hunger is the largest food drive in the country and will take place on May 11, 2024 . This annual event is collaborative with Food Finders and helps to bring together volunteers, organizations, and community members to help combat food insecurity by collecting and distributing food donations to those that are in need.

Stamp Out Hunger takes place in more than 10,000 cities and towns across the nation, including our local community here in Long Beach.

This year, Food Finders will be at several local post office locations:

  • Seal Beach Village (2929 Westminster Blvd, Seal Beach, CA 90740)
  • North Long Beach Annex (5101 Long Beach Blvd, LB, CA 90805)8
  • Spring St Annex (6510 E Spring St, Long Beach, CA 90815)
  • Lakewood Postal Office (5200 Clark Ave, Lakewood, CA 90174)

As a volunteer, you will help to assemble meal boxes and ensure that nutritious meals will reach individuals and families facing food insecurity. Your efforts are crucial in addressing hunger in our community and Stamp Out Hunger provides an excellent opportunity for us to support their mission.

We invite you to collaborate with us by participating to stamp out hunger with Food Finders on May 11th. This is an exciting and rewarding opportunity for you to get involved with and give back to the community. Whether you donate food items, volunteer your time, or simply spread the word about this event, your support will help make a positive impact in our community.

About Food Finders, Inc

Location:

10539 Humbolt St, Los Alamitos, CA 90720, US

Mission Statement

To eliminate food waste while improving nutrition in food insecure communities.

Description

Our Food Rescue Program began in 1989 in response to the disparity between the amount of wholesome food going to waste and the amount of people facing food insecurity. Food Finders initially rescued a few thousand pounds of food per year with only the Founder and several volunteers running the program. Today, we have 17 full-time staff and 6 interns, and we have an army of more than 300 volunteers. We serve more than 400 recipient agency partners and engage more than 700 food donors. Our focus is on perishable and prepared food. This food is immediately delivered to our partner agencies, not warehoused, providing an average of 30,000-40,000 meals a day, 365 days a year. So far in 2023, we have rescued over 13.7 million pounds of food, and we have the possibility to reach a Food Finders all-time high of 16 million pounds of food by the end of the year.

In September, our Food 4 Kids program will start again with the Long Beach Unified School District. We will provide 1,844 meals per month to over 40 schools to ensure that students + their families who are struggling with food insecurity have meals to eat on the weekends.
