ExtraFood operates a food recovery network that collects surplus fresh food from businesses and schools in San Francisco, Marin, and Sonoma and delivers it directly to nonprofits serving people experiencing food insecurity. The organization also runs Community Meals, which works with restaurants and caterers to prepare meals, and Share the Bounty, which rescues fruit and vegetables from backyards, community gardens, and farms. Through these programs, ExtraFood aims to reduce hunger, minimize wasted food, and address related climate impacts by ensuring fresh food reaches those most in need in the Bay Area. Based in Kentfield, California, ExtraFood serves nonprofits such as homeless shelters, food pantries, and after-school programs that support vulnerable children, seniors, and families across San Francisco, Marin, and Sonoma. The organization is a small to mid-sized operation within the civic and social sector focused on hunger relief and food waste reduction. In July 2025, Marin Magazine recognized its Food Runners initiative as Best of the County in the Best Nonprofit Food Insecurity category.
