2025: A Year of Impact, Growth, and Community for Peninsula Food Runners

2025 was a busy and meaningful year for Peninsula Food Runners — one that reflected both the growing needs in our community and the incredible commitment of our donors, volunteers, and nonprofit partners.

This year, we rescued and delivered 11% more food than in 2024, a critical increase at a time when food insecurity continues to rise. 

By the numbers in 2025:

• 4,092,692 meals delivered to community organizations serving those in need
• 4,911,235 pounds of food kept out of landfills
• 19,183 volunteer hours from 810 volunteers running food to those in need

Every meal delivered represents more than food, it represents dignity, care, and connection. And every pound rescued means less waste and a healthier planet.

None of this would be possible without our generous food donors, our dedicated Food Runner volunteers, and our nonprofit partners who serve on the front lines every day.

As we look ahead, we’re energized and ready for what’s next. 2026 is our next challenge and we’re aiming even higher. With continued community support, we’re determined to rescue more food, deliver more meals, and expand our impact even further.

Join Us in 2026

There are many ways to be part of this impact:

• Volunteer as a Food Runner and turn surplus food into meals
• Donate food if you’re a business or organization with excess food
• Support our mission through financial contributions or partnerships

Let’s make ’26 another success!

At Peninsula Food Runners, we do our part by rescuing surplus food and redirecting it to those in need, reducing waste while helping protect the environment!
