In our vision of a more sustainable food system, everyone has access to nutritious food and all food goes to its highest outcome. But that’s not yet reality in the U.S. One in seven people are food insecure in America, a stat that’s increased 30% in just the past year. At the same time, 33% of all food in the U.S.—78 million tons—went to waste or was lost in the fields in 2022 according to ReFED. It’s easy to get discouraged by those numbers, but we see it as an opportunity to tackle both problems at once—not just on #HungerActionDay but every day. We partner with more than 60 food banks and pantries and local food access organizations leading the work of serving and feeding our neighbors day in and day out. Over the past year, we’ve helped provide more than 1.5 million meals* to people facing hunger through our partnership with Feeding America. And in 2023, Misfits Market donated over 6 million pounds of food through our 60+ community partners around our facilities. To learn more about the amazing work of our partners and how you can fight hunger just by shopping with us, head to our new Food Access page: https://lnkd.in/eqvApez2 #HungerActionMonth *$1 helps provide at least 10 meals secured by Feeding America on behalf of local member food banks.

Our merchandising team has been hard at work over the last year expanding our product assortment, and we're excited to announce that we've officially reached 1,000 SKUs! Which means we've got more categories (including supplements and vitamins and baby) and more exciting, hard-to-find brands than ever before. Why not discover a new fave while stocking up on all your usual grocery suspects *and* fighting food waste?

Take it from a certified expert in snacks: you *have* try our brand-new savory onion twists. They're delicious, of course, but even better, they fight food waste with every bite. Hear from our Senior Director of Private Label Morgan Drummond about how we created this exclusive, limited-edition collab with the fine folks at Pipcorn Heirloom Snacks , then pick up a bag of your own over at #MisfitsMarket before they sell out.

Nobody: Me: Ordering 10 bags of my latest product launch ?? - introducing our exclusive Pipcorn Heirloom Snacks x Misfits Market Upcycled Savory Onion Twists! ?? At Misfits Market, cobranded product development falls under the #privatelabel team umbrella because the same amount of enthusiasm and dedication goes into these fun collaborations as we put into our entire Odds & Ends #ownedbrand. I’m thankful for Pipcorn’s partnership in the development and launch of this product and for their commitment to finding more ways to #upcycle the heirloom corn flour from their milling process (huge kudos to Joe DePetrillo, Matt Clevenger, Justin Lindenmayer + Jessie Kimsey for the intro!). Plus, I’m happy my son now asks for these as his preferred snack (over those certain MSG-laden onion ring snacks). More proof that as an industry we CAN launch delicious, high-quality products that are food waste-fighters by leveraging upcycled ingredients. ?? These twists and other food waste-fighting products can be found exclusively at www.misfitsmarket.com now! How many bags will you add to your box? ??

We're wrapping up July by looking back on our company-wide Misfits Market Summer Carnival that took place this month. Folks from every department stepped right up, both virtually and in person, to participate in engaging activities and collaborative sessions. Our festivities ranged from IRL celebrations at our fulfillment centers to virtual learning opportunities, like A Zero Waste Outlook led by our partners at Bold Reuse, and a series of talent-based "Misfits Believe it Or Not" sessions—who knew we had a champion baton twirler in our ranks? Now we're just looking forward to our Summer Carnival swag to arrive at our doors! It was an energizing week of recognizing and celebrating achievements, strengthening team bonds, and aligning on future goals. And none of it would have been possible without our powerhouse Employee Experience Team—a huge thank you to each them for pulling off such an incredible week of connection and enjoyment. We can’t wait for Summer Carnival 2025! Psst: Wanna get in on the Misfits fun? Check out our Careers page, we've got room in our tent for amazing talent! https://lnkd.in/eX3zHhDE

One of the best parts of building a company from the ground up is that you get to design the team of your dreams from scratch. We make it a priority to invest in talent at every stage of their careers, which means inevitably we'd celebrate our very first retirement! Cheers to Jon Mckinley, who we toasted last week for his four years of creating scalable solutions in our IT department. Thank you for letting #MisfitsMarket be a part of the final chapter in such a wonderful career. Looking for your next big move? Check out our Careers page and come find your fit with us! https://lnkd.in/eX3zHhDE
We have celebrated many things over the past 5+ years at Misfits Market, but today was a first - we get to celebrate our first Misfits retirement! The biggest thank you in the world to Jon Mckinley for 4 years of incredible contributions to our company. Jon joined us in mid 2020. We were adding new team members every week, we had almost no IT infrastructure, and we were juggling Covid chaos. Jon moved quickly and deliberately (one of our core values at Misfits) to create scalable IT solutions across the organization - most of these are still intact today and serve as a foundation for technology at Misfits (including things like the Jonny Cart - our mobile warehouse management cart). Jon was never short on fun stories and life lessons. At his retirement party yesterday, he left us with a few more wise words: "Never try to lift up a cow by yourself, be careful of potholes when driving a motorcycle, and work at companies with kind people." ?? Jon - as you move on to enjoy your well-deserved retirement, know that your legacy will continue to inspire us. Now it is finally thyme to relax! Thank you and happy retirement!

Good news travels fast! Check out this recap of another amazing Food Waste Solutions Summit organized by our friends at ReFED. They assembled the best and brightest in the industry, including our Head of Sustainability?Rose Hartley, to share insights and reimagine?food loss and?waste reduction strategies both upstream and at the consumer level.
The ReFED Team has done it again! Last week’s #FoodWasteSolutionsSummit in Baltimore was reinvigorating and inspiring. Here are some of the standout moments, and personal highlights: ?? Secretary of Agriculture Thomas Vilsack announced?the?National Strategy for Reducing Food Loss and Waste and Recycling Organics. This long-awaited strategy charts a course to the US commitment to reduce food loss and waste by 50% by 2030, including new investments. The strategy covers prevention of food loss, prevention of food waste, increasing organics recycling, and policy to incentivize all three areas. Read all about it?here: https://shorturl.at/lfssC ?? As always, Dana Gunders delivered an insightful, inspiring keynote address. She drew parallels between the growth of energy efficiency and our collective work in food loss and waste, emphasizing that rising demands can be mitigated by creating efficiency measures that help plateau consumption. ?? A food waste & loss “cheat sheet”!?Eva Goulbourne of Littlefoot Ventures, in collaboration with FMI- The Food Industry Association, hosted a brainstorming and planning session for the Food Waste Reduction Alliance. Eva created a comprehensive "Cheat Sheet" detailing the primary stakeholders working to reduce food waste and loss in the U.S. and beyond. This is the sort of resource that I wish I had when I started in this field six years ago. ?? Measurement -> Awareness -> Behavior Change. Harry Tannenbaum, founder of Mill, shared early findings showing that Mill customers are changing and improving not just their at-home waste habits, but their purchasing habits, e.g. purchasing fewer would-be-wasted foods. It's a great reminder that what's measured, matters (and it's important to make the measurement easy - or better yet, automatic!) ?? Workshop: Mapping Solutions, Bridging Gaps in Food Waste Reduction. I had the pleasure of facilitating a workshop with Nia D'Emilio, led by Selena Mao, to?audit the current ReFED solutions to food waste, and assess ongoing needs. It was a pleasure to work with retail grocery colleagues including Natasha Tofil and Kaity Robbins who are leading work to reduce in-store retail waste. We even pitched an solution to make it easier to divert waste in grocery stores :) ?? The incredible ReFED Team.?The team has grown substantially since last year’s Summit and continues to do the work our whole ecosystem relies on: researching, reporting, and advocating for food waste reduction in the U.S. Thank you for galvanizing us, and providing a moment for us all to get organized, energized, and reinvigorated so we can keep saving food from loss and waste.

"Move Quickly and Deliberately": it's one of our core values and it's the fuel behind our food rescue strategy. So when a Chicago-based grocer recently closed its doors, we mobilized to build a partnership with an innovative distributor, Pod Foods, who helped reroute items from 15 trending snack and beverage brands to our store. Starting this week, #MisfitsMarket customers can discover 35 new favorite foods that previously had an uncertain fate—and brands can rest easy that their products found a great home. Check out the story over at Modern Retail of how Senior Category Manager Jessie Kimsey lived our core value and worked with Dan Rabens and Peter Gialantzis at Pod Foods to help fold these emerging brands into our rapidly expanding our assortment.
