ASG se asocia con empresas de la industria alimentaria que tienen excedentes de alimentos saludables y los distribuye a socios alimentarios examinados para alimentar a nuestros vecinos del condado de Guilford que padecen inseguridad alimentaria.

 

Nuestra visión es reducir las disparidades alimentarias y al mismo tiempo crear un mundo más sostenible.

Nos dedicamos a facilitar un rescate y una donación sencillos, exitosos y sin problemas de alimentos frescos y saludables que de otro modo se desecharían, y a entregar esos alimentos a nuestros socios examinados que brindan alivio del hambre a nuestra comunidad.

WHAT DOES ASG DO ABOUT IT?​​

Our region is disproportionately suffering to access healthy foods. ASG unlocks our community’s feeding potential to highlight the value of food.

Our Food Recovery partnerships connect surplus donations from food donors to food recipients,  driven by our passionate group of food rescuers.

We FIGHT HUNGER, REDUCE WASTE, and BUILD COMMUNITY.

BECOME A DONOR

Food industry businesses with surplus food can become Recovery donors. We'll arrange for the donations to be picked up and match wholesome leftovers to one of our more than 35 vetted nonprofits in Guilford County. If interested, click on the green form button below.

Spotlight: Northside Baptist Church 

Volunteers at the Northside Baptist Church

“The partnership Northside Baptist has with ASG has allowed the church to solidify its ministry into an actively impactful and reliable source of food for its community. Without the ASG partnership, 85% of the capacity of the ministry would have to stop. Northside Baptist simply doesn’t have the monetary resources to purchase the food that would be required. Northside Baptist has supportive working church members, but the church would most likely need to stop the children/guardian meals altogether.”

 

“Now because of the support from consistent weekly donations from ASG on Wednesdays, Northside has been able to add takeaway bag lunches for patrons that attend the Thursday breakfast. And along with Thursdays, Northside is able to offer a hot meal on Sunday and Wednesday evenings. These evening meals consist of neighborhood family dinners. Children and guardians walk or are picked up/dropped off by the church vans to the church for healthy meals. This has helped Northside build a lot of relationships within their direct community.”

consumers are the biggest food WASTERS, MORE THAN GROCERY STORES AND RESTAURANTS.
