BUILDING CAMPAIGN
Double what we can do.
Our new Food Security Distribution Center in St. Augustine will double the food we rescue and share, from 1 million to more than 2 million pounds a month, and let us serve 4,000+ families every week. We have raised 44% of the $6.56 million goal. Help us finish it.
A 5% fee on gifts of $1,000 or more supports general operating expenses.

We rescue food, keeping it out of landfills where it would have emitted methane gas, which traps about 80 times more heat than carbon dioxide over 20 years.
At Epic-Cure®, we believe in taking urgent, immediate, and continuous action to make a measurable difference in eliminating food waste
