Sharing Excess

Sharing Excess was founded in Philadelphia in 2018, to scale human compassion to meet a global challenge; food insecurity. Sharing Excess works to address the crucial need for food by delivering regular surplus from grocery stores, restaurants, wholesalers, and farmers to communities in need. By embracing the imagination of students, change-makers, innovators, and entrepreneurs, Sharing Excess is changing a broken food system by eliminating the barriers between excess and scarcity. The Philadelphia Wholesale Produce Marketopened its doors in 2011 as the largest refrigerated building in the world, housing some 700,000 square feet of the world's freshest produce but its roots date back all the way to Dock Street, the earliest fruit and vegetable marketplace in Philadelphia. Today, the state-of-the-art facility ensures the highest global standards for quality fresh produce.
