During this holiday season, Food Finders expresses appreciation for the support of No More Poverty and co-founders Michael Omidi and Julian Omidi.
Food Finders appreciates the support of No More Poverty and co-founders Michael Omidi, MD and Julian Omidi. Food Finders re-distributes wholesale food from grocery stores, restaurants, bakeries and other food purveyors that might otherwise be thrown away via its staff drivers and network of volunteers who pick up that food and take it immediately to shelters and other partner nonprofit agencies. As a conduit for food, education, and awareness between donors, volunteers, agencies and people in need, Food Finders has rescued and delivered more than 96 million pounds of food since 1989. The mission of the organization is to eliminate hunger and food waste, while improving nutrition in communities throughout Southern California.
“It was such an obvious answer … someone just had to take the time to stop the waste, facilitate the transfer of all the good food, and make it available to the shelters and agencies that feed the hungry,” says Patti Larson, Executive Director of Food Finders. “We are grateful for those who help reduce food waste and to those who support our efforts on behalf of the food insecure in Los Angeles and Orange County. Thank you No More Poverty!”

About Food Finders
Food Finders, Inc. (foodfinders.org) was founded in 1989 by Arlene Mercer, who was concerned about the amount of food being thrown away rather than donated by local food merchants and grocers. Inspired to end the waste, she began forming liaisons with local vendors and seeking shelters that could use good, wholesome food to feed needy and impoverished families, children and elderly. Today, Food Finders is a multi-regional food bank that helps provide daily meals to more than 270 agencies and shelters for a total of 40,000 meals a day. With seven employees and more than 300 volunteers, Food Finders has rescued more than 95.5 million pounds of food to date (its goal of 100 million pounds is right around the corner).
