A small amount of extra food can still matter.

Across the world and in every local community, people miss meals while usable food is thrown away. Surplus does not pretend to solve that whole problem. It gives one practical option when good food is still safe to donate: post it clearly, and let someone nearby decide if they can use it.

What that can look like

A shop has several loaves left before closing. Instead of throwing them out, someone lists the amount and pickup window. A nearby household, volunteer, or community group can see it and arrange the pickup directly.

Surplus makes local food donation easier to act on.

The site does not move, inspect, or approve the food. It helps the person donating and the person collecting see the same details, protect private pickup information, and arrange the handoff directly.

If you have food to donate

You do not need a large amount. Say what it is, how much there is, how it has been kept, what allergens are known, and when it needs to be picked up.

If the food can help you or your group

Check the amount, timing, storage needs, and pickup area. If it works, ask to arrange pickup and inspect the food before accepting it.
