Who We Are
Everyone in America should have access to healthy food. OneGenAway rescues high-quality food from grocery stores, restaurants, caterers, and farms. Then we give that food to our neighbors in times of need — no questions asked. Hunger isn’t just a food problem, either. It comes with a stigma and emotional weight that can affect our relationships, our jobs, and even our faith. But just like hunger is a part of the human experience, SO IS HOPE.
What We Do
Disaster Relief
Natural disasters put communities in crisis. Hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods can cause billions of dollars in damage and displace entire neighborhoods from their homes. The national guard is called in, and the news is flooded with images of devastation and the heroic acts of first responders. But once the reporters leave, and FEMA has done their initial work, the need persists. That’s when we come in.
OneGenAway goes into impacted communities three months after disaster strikes. We intentionally coincide with the departure of first responders. We bring one or more truckloads of food, each truckload averaging 30,000 pounds of food, to help relieve some of the burden of rebuilding and remind our friends that they are not forgotten.
