Mission Statement
360 Eats' mission is to create a just and sustainable food system where no one goes hungry and no food is wasted.
Description
360 Eats is a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit mobile food service providing an innovative solution to bridge the gaps between food waste, food insecurity, and sustainability. In Pinellas County, food waste is the second largest category of waste. Meanwhile, thousands of families and individuals are struggling with food insecurity.
Our Solution
Saving Food: The Saving Food program rescues good food from going to waste by collecting excess food from businesses, organizations, and individuals through our mobile Food Rescue team and volunteers.
Sustain-A-Bowl: Our Sustain-A-Bowl program transforms surplus food into nutritious gourmet meals for those less fortunate. Partnering with a licensed commissary kitchen and professional chefs, we prepare and distribute these meals directly to those in need via our Sustain-A-Bowl food truck.
Sprouting Food: The Sprouting Food program turns food scraps into compost to grow more food in affected communities. Partnerships with local community gardens help us achieve a zero-waste system.
Culinary Cultivator: To enhance food security, we offer paid internships to individuals facing employment barriers, allowing them to pursue culinary careers. Over six months, interns gain skills and experience by working closely with our chefs in a commercial kitchen and aboard our food truck.
