Sharing Excess

I would really appreciate your vote! ❤️ Hi LinkedIn fam, I'm excited to share that one of my past design projects has been nominated for the UX Design Awards 2024! It's such an honor to have my work positively evaluated by the expert jury among nearly 540 participants from 50 nations around the world 🌎 Feel free to check out the project and cast your vote if you like it! Thank you! https://lnkd.in/gAQDCJdJ I collaborated with Quinn K. on this project at Sharing Excess last summer to redesign the Warehouse App of the company, which helped streamline the work process of their warehouse workers and increase work efficiency. More details about the work can be found on my portfolio: https://lnkd.in/eRN_mt2q This project is particularly meaningful to us as it was our first time leading a UX project as the sole designers at the company, especially during a challenging time when we were affected by hiring freezes and working to recover. Through this work, we hope to inspire and empower other young professionals to be confident in their abilities to make an impact in their careers! 💛

WARP is proud to announce that we’ve helped Sharing Excess deliver over 10.5 million pounds of food across 21 states. 🎉 This food has saved households over $20 million in food cost savings. And diverted over 38 million pounds of harmful greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. Additionally, Sharing Excess has hosted over 110 community food distributions, all of which have featured co-branded tents with WARP. The tents have been an extremely valuable asset to Sharing Excess’s team and were recently featured in a Produce News article (https://lnkd.in/gSc84pph) and their viral Mr Beast video (at 02:13 and 06:08 https://lnkd.in/gGevV-XN). Thank you Sharing Excess, Evan Ehlers, Victoria Wilson, Braden Walper, Sarah DiPasquale, Jimmy Donaldson, and Beast Philanthropy. #innovation #technology #middlemile #logistics #supplychain #freighttech #crossdock #sustainability

Check it out - we're featured in a recent edition of The Produce News! 🍉🍎🍋🥬 Thank you Tim Linden for highlighting our founding story and recent expansion to NYC, and to Stefanie Katzman for her kind words and ongoing support of our operation.

We had the absolute honor of hosting First Lady Lori Shapiro, Secretary of Agriculture Russell Redding, and State Rep. Regina Young at the Philadelphia Wholesale Produce Market to see our food rescue operation! 🎉🥬🍅🥦🍇🍎🥑🍌They joined us for an engaging tour to meet the amazing wholesalers at PWPM, learn about our partnership with the market, and volunteer alongside our team to sort and pack produce donations. It was inspiring to hear how excited and supportive they were about our collaboration with PWPM. Together over the last 2.5 years, we’ve rescued and redistributed over 20 million pounds of fresh produce to food banks and community organizations across the region. “For generations, Pennsylvania farmers have nourished our communities by donating their surplus through the Philadelphia Wholesale Produce Market. Food has the power to nourish families, strengthen communities, and provide sustainable income. From the Pennsylvania Food Policy Council to the investments we’re making at all levels of the agriculture and food industry … we are continuing the legacy of our farmers, and ensuring a healthy, robust, and sustainable future for our Commonwealth.” — Russell Redding, PA Secretary of Agriculture “We cannot accept that 20% of Philadelphians lack access to healthy food. Josh and I are committed to changing this by investing in food security across the Commonwealth…” “Our budget proposes $22 million to grow the minimum SNAP benefits, provides meals for school children, and invests in our local farmers.” — Lori Shapiro, First Lady of Pennsylvania At Sharing Excess, we see food surplus as an opportunity to improve food access throughout the Commonwealth. In Philadelphia alone, up to 1 million pounds of food goes to waste every day. A significant portion of this food is still perfectly edible. Meanwhile, 1 in 5 Philadelphians will experience food insecurity this year. By partnering with an incredible network of food businesses, food banks, and community organizations, we can bridge the gap to effectively redistribute this surplus to those who need it most. We can reduce waste, save businesses money, and provide crucial food access to millions of people. It’s a true win-win for all🌱💚

🌎 Happy Earth Day to our beautiful planet and everyone on it! Today we invite you to join us on our journey where every pound of food saved is a step toward healing our planet. 🌱 When we let food go to waste, it’s more than just a loss resource; it contributes to serious environmental damage. Decomposing food waste releases methane into our atmosphere, and is responsible for 8% of all global greenhouse gases. But there's good news—by rescuing food and reducing waste, we can help heal our planet. Swipe through today’s special Earth Day post to see exactly how food rescue isn’t just feeding people, it’s fighting for our planet’s future. Let’s make every meal matter. 💚🌍🔄

I’m extremely excited to announce that Sharing Excess has received a transformational grant from The Tony Robbins Foundation to expand our food rescue operations globally 🌎💚 Back in November, we made a video with Beast Philanthropy about our story which has gained nearly 20 million views since it was uploaded. After the video, people from all over the world reached out with passionate interest in starting Sharing Excess where they live.. Chile, Mexico, Colombia, UK, India, the list goes on. Luckily, one person who saw our video was Tony Robbins a legendary entrepreneur and philanthropist who has an astounding mission to provide over 100 billion meals in his lifetime. He saw our work with Beast Philanthropy as a worthy effort to support. With his help, we will be able to rescue and redistribute millions of pounds of food domestically, while convening an international coalition of food sharing in countries around the world. Here’s where we could use your help… We’re seeking food industry leaders to help us address food insecurity on a massive scale— wholesalers, retailers, growers, importers, and generous donors to help us change the future of food access for millions of people. No support is too big, too small, too far, or too ambitious. If you’ve ever wanted to get involved in supporting our mission, now is the time💚 Thank you Tony Robbins, The Tony Robbins Foundation and Beast Philanthropy for taking our mission to the next level. We are beyond excited for what’s next.🚀 #LetsFreeFood
