Our Mission
Every day, millions of pounds of perfectly good food are thrown away by restaurants, cafes, and bakeries — not because there's anything wrong with it, but simply because it wasn't sold in time.
At Freshcue, we believe that good food deserves to be enjoyed, not wasted. Our app creates a simple bridge between local vendors with surplus food and people who want to enjoy it. It's a win for everyone: vendors reduce waste, users get free meals, and the planet benefits.
Powered by Careit
Freshcue builds on the proven foundation of Careit, a leading food donation and surplus management platform that has already helped over 180 million meals reach those who need them most.
Careit partners with food distributors, nonprofits, and communities to ensure good food never goes to waste — making a measurable difference across the U.S. With Careit's technology and impact as its backbone, Freshcue opens the door for everyday people to access free food from local vendors.
Together, we're building a future where less food is wasted, more people are fed, and communities thrive.
Our Values
Sustainability
Every meal saved is a step toward a more sustainable future. We're committed to reducing the environmental impact of food waste.
Community
We believe in the power of local connections. Freshcue strengthens neighborhoods by bringing vendors and residents together.
Accessibility
Good food should be available to everyone. We're breaking down barriers and making quality meals accessible to all.
How We Make an Impact
Food waste is one of the biggest environmental challenges we face. When food ends up in landfills, it produces methane — a greenhouse gas significantly more potent than CO2. By rescuing surplus food, we're not just preventing waste; we're actively fighting climate change.
But our impact goes beyond the environment. Freshcue helps families stretch their budgets, introduces people to new local businesses, and builds stronger community ties. It transforms what would be waste into moments of joy and connection.
