Every year, over 100 billion pounds of food is wasted--Good Samaritan Meals strives to make that number zero. Our name is derived from the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act of 1996, which was created to encourage food donations to nonprofits by minimizing liability. In that spirit, Good Samaritan Meals has partnered with multiple food providers to collect and redistribute food that would otherwise be trashed. We’ve also worked with charities to find and assist various vulnerable populations, such as the homeless, by providing much-needed meals. Our mission has many parts, all of which intertwine: to combat food waste, help the hungry, and uplift and support our community.
