Waste No Food

It facilitates the donation of food waste from farms, restaurants and grocery stores to shelters and charities that can use it.

The nonprofit was founded in 2011 by Kiran Sridhar, then a 12-year-old 7th grader at a Bay Area school, as a way to improve the distribution of food and reduce waste.

Sridhar received the Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes in 2014, at the age of 16.
