In 2024, Keep Austin Fed celebrated two decades of rescuing wholesome food, reducing waste in our landfill, and nourishing our neighbors. We couldn’t do what we do without the volunteers who dedicate so much of their time and every philanthropist who supports us financially.

Shout out to the efforts of our volunteers in 2024:

• Rescued and redistributed over 1.1 million pounds of surplus food, providing nearly

• 930,000 meals to our community.

• Completed more than 9,000 food runs and partnered with over 90 food donor locations and 90 partner recipient locations to ensure food reached those who needed it most.

• Prevented hundreds of thousands of pounds of food waste, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and saving valuable resources.

• Expanded our Community Grocery Giveaways, bringing fresh, nutritious, and culturally relevant food directly to neighborhoods facing food insecurity.

• Ensured that 45-50% of the food rescued was fresh produce and another 20-25% was prepared meals, prioritizing nutritious options.

• Additional volunteers dedicated their time daily at our East Austin Hub to sort through donated food, ensuring that everything distributed was of grocery quality. This effort helps maintain the dignity of providing high-quality food to everyone.

Thank you to everyone who supports Keep Austin Fed. It takes every single one of us to grow a healthy community!
