Stem4Free is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to food rescue and food waste awareness.
Powered by community-reported rescues, reviewed before they're counted.
Get credit for your work — signed service-hours letters, a byline you can cite in college applications, and founding-contributor recognition while we're just getting started.
Since 2020, Stem4Free has been entirely student run — at its peak, more than 235 volunteers helped rescue food across 43 locations. We're now relaunching as a community storytelling platform, and rebuilding that network from the ground up.
Businesses donate either regularly or whenever they have leftover food. Our volunteers pick up food from businesses and deliver it to food pantries, homeless shelters, and other organizations. We'd love to have you join our family of over 120 partners!
