Food Cowboy is a Bethesda, Maryland-based company operating in IT services and IT consulting that uses a mobile platform to move surplus fresh produce to charities. The app serves truckers, wholesalers, and retailers and provides routing, scheduling, food safety guidance, and expedited charitable donation tax paperwork to streamline the rescue of food that would otherwise be wasted.

The platform also supports community-level use, allowing local restaurants, supermarkets, and foodservice companies to alert nearby charities and rescue volunteers when they have surplus to donate, without upfront commitments. At catered events, for $1 per guest, Food Cowboy coordinates a local charity to collect unserved food from gatherings of 250 guests or more. Founded by Roger Gordon, Richard Gordon, and Barbara Cohen, the company has received recognition from Fast Company and coverage by NPR, CNN, and the Huffington Post, and it collaborates with the USDA and the UN/FAO to address food waste and hunger.
