Our Story

 

Two Birds Foundation was born from a simple observation: in our community, restaurants close their kitchens each night with trays of untouched food, grocery shelves are cleared of items approaching their sell-by date, and families go to bed wondering how they'll put a meal on the table tomorrow. Two problems. One solution. One act of giving.

The name says it all. Like the saying — feed two birds with one scone — we saw an opportunity to address food waste and food insecurity in a single, coordinated effort. But unlike the saying, our approach isn't about force. It's about care, community, and the belief that what gets thrown away in one corner of a neighborhood can nourish someone in another.

We started small — with a shared conviction, a lot of heart, and the practical know-how to build something that works. We assembled a team of passionate volunteers, established the food safety protocols that every distribution deserves, and began building relationships with the local businesses, donors, and community organizations that make this work possible.

We're still early in our journey. But we believe that the most important thing a young nonprofit can do is show up consistently, operate with integrity, and never lose sight of the people at the center of the mission.

That's what Two Birds Foundation is built on — and we're just getting started.

Emily Morrison is a nonprofit leader with 15+ years of experience in events, marketing, communications, public relations, fundraising, and community service. 


A polished keynote speaker and compassionate people leader, Emily is known for her ability to forge meaningful partnerships, develop strategic communication plans, and drive brand awareness. She is equally passionate about community involvement, having served as a Community Involvement Lead in both Georgia and Arizona.


A cum laude graduate of Arizona State University with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, Emily brings both analytical thinking and genuine heart to everything she does. 


She is driven, enthusiastic, and a firm believer that your comfort zone will kill you — always pushing herself and those around her to grow beyond what's comfortable.

When she's not leading with purpose, you'll find Emily soaking up sunshine, spending time with her dogs, or dancing her heart out on the line dance floor. She'll be the first to admit she's a great dancer but a not-so-great walker.

Emily lives by three 

simple principles: 


Be Kind. Work Hard. Give Back.

A note from the founders

Two Birds Foundation, Inc. began the way most meaningful things do — with a moment I couldn't ignore

I watched perfectly good meals get thrown away at the end of an event, and just a few miles away, families were going to bed hungry. That contradiction stayed with me. It kept me up at night. And eventually, it moved us to act.


I am Emily Morrison — the originating founder of something we believe can make a real difference. We didn't start this organization because we had all the answers. We started it because we couldn't look the other way. We believe that food is a right, not a privilege, and that the communities around us deserve better than a system that wastes abundance while leaving people behind.


Two Birds is our answer to that belief. It is built on the conviction that sustainability and compassion are not separate goals — they are the same goal. That when we care for our neighbors, we care for our planet. And that ordinary people, working together with intention, can close the gap between what is and what should be.


We are just getting started, and we are filled with hope.


Thank you for believing in a world where hunger and food waste do not co-exist, yet kindness and equality do.
