Our Story

We believe that hunger isn’t a scarcity issue. It’s a matter of logistics. Goodr was founded on the simple yet powerful idea that we need to feed more and waste less. What started as a local initiative to feed people experiencing food insecurity in Atlanta has grown into a national network with long-lasting impact.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is simple: hunger is not a scarcity issue — it’s a logistics problem. We work with corporate sponsors, cities, governments, and celebrities to provide meals to people in need across the country.

OUR VISION

Together, we’re committed to serving food with dignity – providing fresh, high-quality groceries at no cost to individuals and families

The problem can’t be ignored.

Every year in the United States, we waste over 72 billion pounds of edible food, yet 54 million people are suﬀering from food insecurity. Even with many social programs that aim to end hunger, the current food supply ecosystem has failed to solve this problem which has grown into a national epidemic.

We’re solving hunger differently.

The Goodr model provides the technology and logistics to track an organization’s surplus food from pickup to donation, delivering real-time social and environmental impact analytics. Our solution also improves an organization’s bottom line through charitable tax donations.

In addition, we partner with organizations across the country to get groceries and meals to local communities in need. We strive to provide meals to families, children and seniors in a way that preserves dignity.

We’re reducing waste for a brighter tomorrow.

Our sustainable waste solutions divert inedible food waste from landfills to reduce greenhouse emissions. We also provide organizations with a full-scale waste management solution to help achieve their zero waste goals and reduce their carbon footprint.

How it all started.

After years of feeding local Atlantans in need from her own kitchen, and out of her own pocket, Jasmine founded Goodr in 2017. The idea was born from the notion that if on-demand drivers can be used to deliver food orders from restaurants, we can use similar technology and logistics to repurpose edible surplus food.

Today Goodr has grown into a full-scale waste management and hunger relief company that has provided food to millions of people across the United States and redirected millions of pounds of waste away from landfills.
