Mission Statement

Ho Fan, Inc. (meaning 'good rice'), is dedicated to addressing the critical issue of food waste while supporting those in need. Our mission is to save food waste and aid other non-profits by redirecting excess or surplus food to benefit individuals who struggle with food insecurity, rather than letting it end up in the trash. Through this effort, we aim to increase sustainability, reduce food waste, and mitigate greenhouse gases, while education our children at the same time. The other support that we also do is adding community wellness and harmony through cultural education in a fun interactive way.
