We’re so proud to share that our founder Evan Ehlers has been appointed to the Philadelphia City Council’s Food and Nutrition Security Task Force! ??
Honored to be appointed to the Philadelphia Food and Nutrition Security Task Force by Council President Kenyatta Johnson. I’m excited to bring the same energy, efficiency, and innovation to this task force that has helped scale Sharing Excess across the United States to rescue and redistribute over 100 million pounds of surplus food to communities in need. When I first started Sharing Excess, nearly 1 million pounds of food were going to waste every day in Philadelphia. This city has both an abundance of food and far too many people in need—a broken equation that can be solved with better logistics, technology, stronger partnerships, and more informed policy. Through this task force, I look forward to working alongside some incredible leaders to build sustainable solutions to these systemic problems in our city. Let’s get to work ?? GO BIRDS!! ????
