40% of food that is grown, processed, and transported will never be consumed.

That's perfectly healthy food that could feed the hungry.

Our Food Shuttle trucks are always on the road, working tirelessly to recover food throughout the seven communities we service.  Our staff and volunteers recover from grocer retailers, markets, wholesalers, farmers, and community food drives, both traditional and virtual.  The recovered food is then promptly distributed to an array of human services agencies.

Over the course of a year, Inter-Faith Food Shuttle proudly recovers and distributes close to 8 million pounds of nutritious foods, with close to 35% being fresh produce. 

We are proud to partner with:

Aldi, BJ’s, Costco’s, Ford’s Produce, Lidl, NC State Farmer’s Market, Publix, Sam’s Club, Sky Chef, The Produce Box, Target, Trader Joe’s, Walmart, Wegman’s and many more. 

How you can help

Plant a Row for the Hungry

Plant a Row for the Hungry is a national program created by The Garden Writers Association that encourages garden communities and individuals to donate fresh vegetables, fruit, and herbs to people in need.  The Food Shuttle is the Plant a Row partner in the Triangle, distributing your home-grown produce to local food pantries, shelters, and other hunger-relief organizations.  Just one pound of your fresh produce supplements four meals. Last year, 30,000 pounds of fresh produce were donated through our partner, Logan's Garden Shop. 

For any questions about Plant a Row, contact info@logantrd.com or sign up at Logan's Garden Shop. 

We cannot accept produce grown with animal manure not composted to USDA Organic standards or sprayed with pesticides within two weeks of harvest.

Host a Food Drive

Each item you collect will make a difference for someone in our community. Food Drives help stock multiple programs, including BackPack Buddies, Grocery Bags for Seniors and School Pantries. Every item donated is one less we have to purchase.
