THE FOOD NOT BOMBS MOVEMENT

the roving house Our Approach | Food Shift 35 years ago there were 400 food assistance organizations; now there are more than 40,000. Yet hunger and food waste are more heightened than ever before. Meanwhile, Oakland unemployment rates are close to 20%. At Food Shift, we see the potential of food recovery to address the systemic problems behind hunger and food assistance: poverty and unemployment. By partnering with social service organizations to train and employ individuals overcoming difficult life circumstances, such as incarceration, addiction and homelessness, a compensated food recovery sector can create jobs for people who need them while reducing waste. Food Shift is determined to establish food recovery as an essential component of a just and sustainable food system and a valued service within the green economy. We believe we can employ those who need it the most while tackling the problem of food waste.
