Start with your plate
This April Month, join us in making a difference — one plate at a time.
We’re committed to reducing food waste and supporting local communities. That’s why, with our mother company Fresh Prep, we partner with Canadian organizations year-round to fight food insecurity and keep edible food out of landfills.
Stepping up for Earth Month
In April, we’re increasing our support with $15K in donations* to our food rescue partners.
How You Can Help:
✅Order select Zero Waste Kit meals — we’ll donate $1 per meal. Look for the badge on the menu.
✅Refer a friend— we’ll add $5 to our donation and you’ll get a $45 credit as a thank you. Your friend gets $45 off their first order.
Our impact, together
Small choices add up. Every action makes a big difference.
Meet our food rescue partners
With the help of volunteer drivers, VFR redirects surplus food from businesses to support nonprofits running essential food programming in Metro Vancouver.
In 2024, they have delivered the equivalent of 1.3 million meals.
Leftovers Foundation
They aim to reduce food waste and prevent the greenhouse gas emissions caused when good food is left to rot.
In 2024, they redirected over 1.1 million pounds of food in Alberta and Manitoba.
They gather food donations and basic products, and distribute them free of charge to nearly 300 community organizations in Montreal. In 2023-24 they distributed $148M worth of food, fulfilling nearly 1M food requests per month.
