Mission Statement

Stone Soup CLE’s mission is to reclaim excess food and redistribute it to those in need, keeping nutritious meals on dinner tables and out of our communities’ landfills. We strive to create meaningful and sustainable solutions to hunger and food waste through education and partnerships. It is our goal to create networks of small food access organizations to increase the number of people served, enhance the client experience and lower our carbon footprint while not duplicating efforts.

Description

Stone Soup CLE began its food rescuing mission in October of 2015. By the end of 2015, an all-volunteer group of 5 food professionals reclaimed more than 7,800 lbs. of nutritious food and delivered it to those in need as a free service. Stone Soup CLE obtained 501(c)(3) status in late 2016 and moved offices to the Cleveland Roots property the following year. The organization has saved 116,000 lbs. of food in 2019, for a grand total of 258,095 lbs.,eliminating 185,828 lbs. of green house gases. SSC serves more that 25 recipient organizations and more than 30 donating organizations. We have conducted more than 100 hours of classes and seminars devoted to cooking, growing food, composting and food waste reduction.
