Feed the hungry by sharing excess food

Our Mission

At Closingtimes we use technology to facilitate businesses to donate excess food and direct it to where it's needed, ensuring that extra food is used to its full potential - to feed people in need. The critical factor is motivation to help and a few minutes to volunteer. We want to create a network of food purveyors like local restaurants, bakeries, etc., that have a surplus at the end of the day. We want to connect them to local organizations such as homeless shelters that accept food through our team of volunteers.

How it works

Food Providers Donate - Partner restaurants and businesses use the closingtime app to upload and donate surplus food.

Recipients Accept - Participating organizations such as homeless shelters or soup kitchens confirm that they would like to utilize the available food .

We Deliver - Closingtimes volunteers collect the excess food, ensure its quality, and deliver it safely to a local nonprofit recipient within the geographic area.

A good way to help people

This app allows you to donate food from cafes and restaurants that would otherwise go to waste. I spend a lot of time and energy making good food. l like that leftover pizza from my shop is not wasted and it's a good way to help people who can't afford it. I recommend other restaurants sign up as a donor and help those in need.

An Incredible App:

I feel grateful for the opportunity this app provides. The closingtimes app provides you with the source of rescued food and the destination where it can be utilized, making it very easy for the volunteer. The app combats both the problem of hunger and food waste. Food is culture, it’s stability, it’s life. The app really makes it easy to avoid food waste and get to those who need it the most.
