    OUR MISSION AND TOTAL DONATIONS

    Who We Are

    We're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that rescues leftover food.  Mostly from restaurants/caterers, salvaging un-plated food that would otherwise be thrown away. We also rescue leftover packaged food, produce, bakery items, etc.  And deliver it to Lowcountry nonprofits serving the food-insecure population.

    Our Founder

    After his years of service in the air force,  and a career in engineering, Chuck Smiley now serves the local community by saving and relocating food in Charleston. Inspired and driven by his family, Chuck wishes to bring Charleston's food insecurity to light and reduce the amount of yearly food waste.

    Total Donations

    Since April 2022 , we have donated over 23,000 lbs of food!
