About us
Keep Austin Fed is a volunteer-based nonprofit organization that helps feed hungry people by rescuing perishable surplus food from commercial kitchens and grocery stores, thereby also keeping this food out of the waste stream. Keep Austin Fed provides pickup services for food donors, delivery services for recipient organizations, and this transportation conforms to industry food safety standards. Keep Austin Fed is a rapidly growing organization, obtaining 501c3 status in February of 2014 and rescuing over 375,000 pounds of food by the end of that year. In 2017, we rescued over 700,000 pounds. Volunteers enjoy the ability to make real impact in their immediate communities with commitments of about 1 hour of time. We can always use more volunteers (individuals or in groups) and food donations. Please see our web site for more details on what we are doing and how you can help.

For 20 years, we've been keeping nutritious food from ending up in landfills and ensuring it reaches the hands of our neighbors who can use it most. What began as a grassroots initiative blossomed into our official 501(c)(3) status a decade ago. Remarkably, some of our dedicated volunteers have been with us since this "official" beginning. Discover what motivates them to return week after week!

We are thrilled to have our Executive Director featured in this month's Austin Woman Magazine. There is much to be done to correct the food system - locally, nationally, and globally - and we know that fighting food waste and food insecurity is just one piece of that puzzle. We share this honor with everyone who works toward a solution. Thank you, Brandi Clark Burton, for bringing this discussion to light. https://lnkd.in/gs6SsBiZ

Thank you Impact Austin!
What a great night last night at the Impact Austin Town Hall where we learned that we were awarded the Fall 2023 Health and Well-Being Grant to help us replicate the success of our east Austin hub in south Austin. Really great keynote speech from Sara Lomelin at Philanthropy Together talking about the power of philanthropic "giving circles" to empower smaller and grassroots organization was an added bonus to the big check. 😁
