Rooted in Community
JEE Foods is a nonprofit organization, powered by high school students. We strive to end hunger, food waste, and poverty through food rescue. While our team is committed to addressing the need of those who are hungry, we aim to take on the core factors in which these problems are rooted in, to create sustainable change.
At the core of our organization, JEE Foods takes food that would otherwise be discarded by restaurants, farms, and grocers and rescues it. This rescued food either travels back to our main facilities, where we transform it to extend its shelf-life or it is delivered directly to a nonprofit organization.

Collection
The first step is finding sources of excess food. No matter the donation size, our volunteers collect perfectly good excess food. Our current donors include restaurants, farms, schools, and conference venues.
Transportation
The next step is to take the food back to our kitchen where it may be transformed to extend its shelf-life. From there, the food is ready to move to its next leg of the journey along with the food that didn't need to be transformed.
Distribution
The final step is distributing the products and meals to the community directly via our partner nonprofit organizations. These organizations serve a variety of communities that would otherwise not have this food.

Why the name JEE? Our three-seed approach
Jobs
JEE Foods provides on-the-job training in foodservice and business. In combination with our education seed, volunteers increase their employability skills.
Education
JEE Foods provides volunteers with education in food safety and industry credentials to increase their opportunities for future employment.
Economy
By giving new life to rescued food, JEE Foods takes full advantage of the economic resources that went into growing the food. In order to truly break free from the poverty cycle, JEE Foods provides the opportunity for individuals to become self-sustainable, which will in turn spur the economy.
