Mission Statement

Our nonprofit was established to reduce the amount of food waste in New York City. We complete this goal through the raising awareness and brokering between food-related charities and restaurants.

Providing the means / network to distribute food from food industry to food center.

Tomorrow’s Lunch... Today’s Future

Currently there are over 1.2 million New Yorkers struggling to get sufficient food for themselves.

Tomorrow’s Lunch will help reduce this number by taking what was once waste establishing a database network to get the food to the centers that distribute it.

Once wasted food will now be utilized via our organization

In addition to a network database, we will have a guerilla team that will go to the location and educate the business as to why they should “get involved”.

5

Market Targeting

We aim to target the food service industry in NYC. This mainly includes independently owned restaurants, as well as franchised fast food chains that we would be able to partner and integrate with.

Fundraising Objectives

Acquire both government support and the support of reputable investors.

Establish that no donation is too small.

By bringing in smaller, less corporate and capitol driven companies we can establish credibility with the public.
