4worldlovers:
We provide hot and nutritious prepared meals five days a week across the Bay Area. We also partner with 65 nonprofits at 105 locations throughout Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties to provide free prepared meals to guests at low-income senior retirement centers, community centers, schools, shelters, transitional housing, and after school programs.


Our Prepared Meal Program provides over 35,000 free hot and nutritious prepared meals every week.


Since we know that most people living below the poverty line don’t have access to affordable and nutritious meals, we make it our job to provide them with what a full, healthy meal should look like. We make sure our meals are well balanced with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and healthy protein choices that they couldn’t afford otherwise.

Our fleet of refrigerated trucks recover and re-distribute prepared meals at no cost to neighborhoods throughout Santa Clara and San Mateo counties where people face food insecurity in the Bay Area.

This service has allowed us to double our meal service capacity from 547,000 meals to over 1 million meals each year. We’re able to provide meals to feed hungry families, children, seniors, veterans, students, and disabled individuals throughout our Bay Area community - helping to combat food insecurity, increase hunger relief, and reduce waste. By becoming an active participant in the food recovery movement, we’ve become the largest prepared-food distribution program in the Bay Area. We are feeding hungry individuals while also reducing our carbon footprint and our partner food donors’ carbon footprint. Since it’s inception, ALC has recovered over 1.1 Million pounds of door that otherwise would had gone to the landfill or compost.

But we know there is still more work to be done - to share meals that serve as many of our hungry neighbors as possible.

Our farm grows food for all of our kitchens. The fresh vegetables we grow are used in salads, soups, and main dishes, and they supplement the produce donated by our partners.
