Bridging the Gap Between Food Waste and Your Community

ServemUp connects surplus food from restaurants to people in need through our network of dedicated volunteers across Palm Beach County.

Who We Are

ServemUp, Inc. is a nonprofit organization born from a simple yet powerful idea: no good food should go to waste while people in our community go hungry.

Our Origin Story

Founded in Palm Beach County, Florida, ServemUp emerged from witnessing the stark contrast between restaurants discarding perfectly good food and families struggling with food insecurity.

Our founders realized that with the right network of volunteers and technology, we could create a bridge between surplus and need, transforming waste into hope.

What started as a simple idea has grown into a movement that brings together compassionate volunteers, generous restaurant partners, and grateful community organizations. We believe that food rescue is more than just preventing waste—it's about building connections and strengthening our community.

Every day, our dedicated food rescuers make a difference by ensuring that nutritious meals reach those who need them most. Through the Food Rescue US platform, we've streamlined the process to make volunteering accessible, efficient, and deeply rewarding for everyone involved.

Our approach is simple: connect surplus food with hungry neighbors through the power of community volunteers. Together, we're not just rescuing food—we're rescuing hope, one meal at a time.
