Feed More // Waste Less
Leveraging technology and logistics to get food to those who need it most
Goodr uses technology and logistics to reduce food waste and end hunger. We’re on a mission to eliminate food waste and hunger through the power of technology. Each year, 40 million Americans go hungry while 80 billion pounds of food end up in landfills. Businesses are currently missing out on $40 Billion in unclaimed tax incentives. At Goodr, we believe that hunger isn’t a scarcity issue. It’s a logistics issue. Even with many social programs that aim to end hunger, the current food supply chain ecosystem in the United States has failed to solve this problem which has grown into a national epidemic. We believe the solution is simple: Feed more, waste less. Goodr provides a secure ledger that tracks an organization’s surplus food from pickup to donation, delivering real-time social and environmental impact reporting analytics. The Goodr model aims to provide a triple-win solution by improving an organization’s bottom line through charitable tax donations, reducing its greenhouse emissions from landfills and getting its edible surplus food to local communities in need.

Customer Testimonials
Andrea Carter
VP – Corporate Social Responsibility, Atlanta Hawks & State Farm Arena
"When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, we wanted to expand our reach and serve more communities in metro Atlanta and knew to reach out to Goodr. We partnered on a series of 10 pop-ups serving over 500 families weekly. In addition, Goodr executed over 150 door-to-door grocery deliveries to families and seniors sheltering-in-place, resulting in millions of meals served. Goodr's flawless execution and professionalism have made for a worthwhile partnership, and I'm excited about our future work together."

To date, Goodr has recovered over 500,000 lbs of food resulting in millions of meals served to local nonprofits. I’m happy to recommend Goodr and am looking forward to our continued work together."

"We first partnered with Goodr in March 2021 to execute 16 pop-up grocery stores in one day for the 2021 NBA All-Star Weekend. During that weekend, we served over 3000 families providing over 1 million meals. I’m happy to recommend Goodr's food distribution services. They have shown they are sustainable, efficient, and genuinely care about feeding more, wasting less."

Goodr Grocery Store
In 2021, Goodr extended its hunger relief solutions by opening the first in-school free grocery store in Atlanta. In partnership with Grammy-nominated recording artist Gunna, and donations from Rebook and Foot Locker, The Goodr Grocery store allows families at Ronald E. McNair Middle school to shop for food, toiletries, household items, clothing, and shoes - minus the price tag. Goodr’s goal is to bring this free grocery experience to more schools, nursing homes, and community centers around the world.
