Our Mission

What We Do
We feed families in Brazil’s favelas with recovered food, quality food that distributors would otherwise throw away, to make a long-term difference. We also provide clean water, cut greenhouse gas emissions, clean beaches and plant trees.
We currently run projects in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.
