The nonprofit Food Finders is celebrating 37 years of fighting hunger and reducing food waste. Specifically in Long Beach and surrounding Southern California communities through food rescue and distribution programs. By partnering with donors and benefactors, the organization diverts surplus edible food to those in need. This helps address both food insecurity and environmental impacts, with 15.6 million pounds of food being rescued and 13 million meals provided in 2025 alone. Food Finders accentuate that hunger is a logistics issue rather than a lack of food issue. Its programs like Food Rescue and Food 4 Kids offer both immediate relief and long-term community support. The anniversary will be marked by a community event highlighting its impact and ongoing missions to ensure access to nutritious foods while reducing waste all at once.
