A HUGE THANK YOU to all the donors who have allowed safe food to be diverted from the waste stream!

We continue to be involved with other organizations to accomplish our goals.

Feeding It Forward recovers excess perishable and prepared food from “food generators”, such as restaurants, food markets, grocery stores, and festivals. After volunteers and staff pick up the food, it is safely transported and, if needed, stored and distributed to other organizations that focus on actively feeding Napa County residents. Clients who benefit from our recovery actions are affordable housing residents, farm workers, homeless shelters, and the working low-income. We pride ourselves in not duplicating the efforts of other non-profits but instead supporting them.

Below are some of our accomplishments.

Thanks to our volunteers whose perseverance has allowed for so much success in recovering food for those in our communities who face food insecurity.

Thanks to the Napa County

The CrossWalk Community Church in partnership with Feeding It Forward helps feed needy members of the community, which is made possible by support from Napa County Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) funds. It is one of several MSA programs implemented by the County of Napa, which strive to improve health outcomes for individuals and families throughout the community. This grant was made possible by funding provided by the County of Napa.
