About us

We are group of entrepreneurs, food bank leaders, philanthropists, doctors and business people who want to bring a world class food rescue system and other best practices to the hungry.

Through our experience with Leket (non-religious), Israel’s national foodbank feeding 415,000 people per week, for 20 years, we have seen how a motivated team combined with technology can economically and efficiently reduce food waste and reduce hunger.

Led by Mark Ettinger, MBA, a business leader and Leket Board member, we plan to leverage and improve on Leket’s and others’ successful technology, best practices and food rescue programs.

We are looking to raise 2 million dollars to fund our technology development, systems development, language localization, implementation, salaries and team development.
