Through the Food Rescue Hero Initiative, WPE has initiated an innovative collection and distribution system for smaller, more frequent donations. Using the White Pony Express Food Rescue App (think Uber for food recovery), food donors can signal when they have excess food and an available food runner volunteer will pick up and deliver it directly to a nonprofit organization that feeds the hungry.
Download and information here: https://www.whiteponyexpress.org/food-rescue-hero-initiative
Volunteers using the app will receive a ping when a local food donor has excess food. Available volunteers can claim the run and will receive detailed directions and other important information.
In less than an hour, you can prevent perfectly good food from going to landfill and provide food security for our most vulnerable neighbors!
HEAR HOW EASY IT IS FROM A HERO:
"This app makes doing food rescue's fun! It is painful to see how much perfectly good food goes to waste and it's amazing to be able to get this food to those in need around you with this app."

Mission Statement
MISSION Our mission is to help eliminate hunger and poverty by delivering the abundance all around us to those in need--with love. GUIDING PRINCIPLE: UNITY We honor the essential unity of all by embracing and serving all those in need. OUR VISION We draw on the generous nature of our community members. In consequence a shared consciousness is born, in which it is natural for us to help one another. When that shared consciousness becomes widespread, there will be no more hunger and no more poverty.
Description
At White Pony Express, we rescue fresh surplus food from supermarkets, restaurants, and farmers’ markets and deliver it free of charge to organizations that feed the hungry. We also collect and distribute high-quality clothing, children's toys, and books.
We were founded by Dr. Carol Weyland Conner in 2013. Dr. Conner conceived this model as an excellent way to help eliminate hunger and poverty by delivering the abundance all around us to our neighbors in need. From our first day, Dr. Conner has stressed that more important than the food and clothing we deliver is the love we give. Love is at the heart of a family, and we are one family.
Beyond our goal of helping others, WPE aims to create opportunities for selfless service. Hundreds of volunteers make White Pony Express possible. They volunteer with us because they believe in our mission. They know they are helping others who have urgent needs at this time in their lives.
