There is a fundamental absurdity in our food system: 35% of the food we produce in the U.S. is thrown away, yet an estimated 42 million Americans struggle with hunger. We are leading the charge to change this broken system. Support our initiative, your Donations HELP!
Our Food Rescue To Go! Program: allows us to deliver our rescued food supplies to families facing food insecurity within a 10 Mile radius of our Baltimore City warehouse. This program is Completely FREE for individuals or families facing food insecurity. At 4MyCiTy our focus is on healthy foods, so most of what's delivered are Fruits & Vegetables with random grocery and snack items sprinkled in occasionally. This programs allows us to reduce food waste, address hunger within the communities and create a consistent stream of supplemental income for the local community through pay as a Delivery Dasher.
4MyCiTy is currently offering Free food scraps pick up to residents within a 10 Mile radius of our Baltimore City warehouse. Residents participating in this program must use our 4MyCiTy 100% compostable zip lock bags which were proudly sponsored by Win Waste Innovations for this initiative. All collected food waste will be processed in our On-site composter and the finished compost will be available for city residents to pickup for personal or community gardening use if needed. Our goal is to make composting FREE and accessible to everyone.

At 4MyCiTy®, Our focus is on the Importance of Environmental Sustainability, primarily the Sustainable Management of Food in relation to food waste. Our Project was developed to operate around four primary phases that when executed successfully creates a ZERO waste to ZERO hunger initiative. Effectively our program is fighting towards ending hunger, while also advancing strategies focused on protecting our planet against the negative effects caused by organic waste.
Since inception in October of 2018, 4MyCiTy has diverted over 180 Million pounds of edible foods and over 35 Million pounds of organic waste totaling just over 215 Million pounds of potential organic waste from reaching landfills. When measured as a Greenhouse gas, that equals to 94,686 Metric tons of avoided CO2e ( carbon dioxide equivalent) emissions. In comparison to vehicles/cars, that's approximately 245,300 cars taken off the roads. This is our true measure of success.
4MyCiTy was launched in October of 2018, we received our nonprofit status on August 30th 2019. Since then, we have rescued and distributed over 180 Million Pounds of food to families facing hunger. That is approximately 150 Million meals served utilizing just surplus food through our rescue operations. Zero dollars was spent on food purchases in these totals.
