Got Surplus Food? We'll Make Sure It Doesn't Go to Waste.

 If you're a restaurant, grocery store, caterer, farmer, or event venue with extra food on your hands, Two Birds Foundation is your partner in making sure it reaches someone who needs it — not the landfill.

Food waste is one of the most solvable problems we face. And businesses like yours are in a unique position to be part of the solution. When you donate surplus food to Two Birds Foundation, you're not just clearing inventory — you're feeding families, reducing your environmental footprint, and investing in the health of our shared community.


Let's Work Together

Whether you have food to donate once a week or once a month, we want to hear from you. No contribution is too small, and no conversation is too early.


Together, we can make sure every good meal finds a good home.

Become a Food Donor Today!

We know that concerns about liability can be a barrier to food donation — and we want you to know that the law is on your side. The Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act, a federal law, protects businesses and individuals who donate food in good faith from civil and criminal liability. As long as the food is donated in good faith and meets basic safety standards, you are legally protected — even if the recipient later experiences an issue with the food.

In short: donating surplus food is not a legal risk. It's a protected act of generosity.

Why It Matters

Why It Matters

Beyond doing good, food donation makes practical sense. Reducing waste can lower disposal costs, and donations to qualifying nonprofits may be tax-deductible. We're happy to provide documentation to support your records.

 We'll also keep you updated on the impact your donations are making.
