Philly food rescue nonprofit Sharing Excess receives $250K grant from Pew

The funds will allow Sharing Excess to expand its footprint to Baltimore and Washington, D.C., and make key hires in sourcing, fundraising, and technology development.

Foreground with arms folded is Evan Ehlers, founder of Sharing Excess. “Sharing Excess, a food-rescue organization launched by a rising Drexel senior in 2018, has set up shop in the Philadelphia Wholesale Produce Market, which sees about $1.5 billion worth of produce move through its gigantic warehouse in a year. Some of that produce, for one reason or another, goes to waste.”
