ReNourish

Turning Food Waste into Fuel for Community

40% of food in America is wasted — we’re turning that into meals. ReNourish is a logistics-first food recovery system turning that waste into meals, not missed opportunities. We reduce waste, fight hunger, and deliver real impact.

What Is ReNourish

ReNourish is a program powered by Novexa that recovers safe, surplus food from local businesses and delivers it directly to nonprofits, shelters, and families in need.

We don’t run food drives. We run systems — logistics that solve real problems for real people.

Why It Matters

Nearly 1.5 million people in North Carolina face food insecurity — including 20% of children.

  • 92 billion pounds of food wasted annually in the U.S.

  • 1 in 7 NC residents struggles to access enough to eat

  • 26% of Black households in NC experience food insecurity

  • 40.6% child food insecurity in NC’s hardest-hit counties

How It Works

We Recover: We partner with grocery stores, restaurants, schools, and caterers to collect unsold but safe food. Our team handles the pickup, packaging, and food-safe transport.

We Redirect: That food is delivered the same day to shelters, churches, after-school programs, and housing communities that serve those most in need.

We Report: Donors receive detailed reports including:

  • Pounds recovered

  • Number of people served

  • Types of food

  • Carbon offset estimates

  • Tax documentation (where applicable)
