About Us
We are a Freegan Cooperative.
FoodCommune is based in the practice and philosophy of FREEGANISM: i.e., how we GET our food, viz, we salvage food that would otherwise end up in a landfill.

Donations and Volunteers
FOOD DONATIONS WELCOME:
If you know of a business (restaurant, store, caterer, etc.) that has excess food that they need to get rid of, please encourage them to donate this food to us, so that we can divert it to people who would use and appreciate it. Donate, don’t dump!
DONATIONS AND VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:
We are NOT externally funded. Instead, we are entirely self-sustaining. Thus, we depend not only on our FOOD DONORS, but on two key groups of people for the conscientious repurposing of this donated food:
1) We depend on our PAYING MEMBERS each week to help ease some of our operating costs: the costs of getting all this food gathered, sorted, loaded, transported, stored, chilled, etc.
2) We depend on our VOLUNTEERS each Saturday at the church to get the food unloaded, fully sorted, arranged, and bagged so that its presentation makes for a convenient and pleasant shopping experience for all attendees.
What to expect?
What kinds of food will you get?
All the kinds of food that you get at any grocery store!
Fresh produce (fruits and vegetables), meats, meals, pantry items (cans, mac and cheese, etc.), salads, dairy (milk, yogurt, cheese), breads, desserts, and more. Plus a variety of health supplements.
You will NOT be getting a prepackaged box of food. Rather, you will be selecting food items from the tables: Put 1 unit of food per Kroger bag, 5 units per crate please.
