The White Pony Express announced the launch of its “Spring into Action” Campaign where all donations up to $100k will be matched.
White Pony Express (WPE) is committed to recovering and delivering surplus fresh food to ensure everyone has access to nutritious food choices. Neighbor helping neighbor is the cornerstone of their volunteer-powered model and is the most effective safeguard against hunger and poverty. By sharing good food with our neighbors in need, WPE aims to build unity and a community where no one suffers from want when there is a means of aiding them.
WPE’s Food Rescue Program operates seven days a week, rescuing a daily average of 10,000+ pounds of high-quality, surplus, fresh food from over 75+ local food outlets. This nutritious food is redistributed within 24 hours to 98 nonprofit partners who feed the most vulnerable individuals in our county. Through this work, they not only address food insecurity, but also health outcomes, the reduction of harmful greenhouse gasses, and learning capacity for students at 16 school sites.
This spring is about new beginnings and transformation at WPE with a move to new headquarters on the horizon. The new home will allow the organization to expand its services and efficiency, while providing a welcoming environment for the dedicated volunteers that are the heartbeat of the operation. The move will also increase their ability to store donated fresh food by 250%!
WPE’s “Spring into Action” campaign is underway and all donations up to $100,000 will be matched. WPE relies on individuals like you to ensure they can meet the increasing demand for fresh, healthy food among our highest need neighbors. Please help WPE by volunteering or donating today – Together we will ensure that everyone has access to the food their bodies need!
About White Pony Express
“White Pony Express is built on the understanding that, in this beautiful world we share, love knows all, does all, and is the most powerful force in the universe.” – Dr. Carol Weyland Conner, WPE Founder
A heartbreaking 1 in 4 Americans are skipping meals or relying on food donations. Balance this troubling statistic with the fact Americans throw away 40% of our food supply—perfectly good food that could wipe out hunger in the U.S. if it was rescued and delivered to those in need.
WPE is a volunteer-powered 501(c)(3) organization with a mission to eliminate hunger and poverty by delivering the abundance all around us to those in need—with love. We serve 120,000 people each year through more than 90 partner agencies. Since our inception, WPE has rescued and delivered more than 25 million pounds of nutritious food—equal to 21 million meals—which prevented more than 31,000 tons of CO2 emissions from entering the air we breathe.
