Founded in 2002, the group has donated more than 100 million servings, equal to about 25 million pounds of fresh produce, over its history. It runs education programs on budget-friendly healthy eating, agriculture, and hunger awareness and has pursued collaborations with other organizations, including a partnership with B&G Foods in 2022.
