What We Do
JEE Foods works across the food system to combat food insecurity by identifying sources of excess and working with donors to rescue that food before it goes to waste. This is done through a volunteer network that leverages technology to quickly distribute this excess food.

Globally Motivated
JEE Foods was founded through a class project in 2017 when students from Butler Tech/Ross High School were tasked by the United Nations to end hunger and poverty. Working with a team in South Korea, JEE Foods emerged as a viable solution to end poverty through our three seed approach.
