Join Our Team

We're dedicated to facilitating the rescue and distribution of healthy, fresh food that would otherwise be discarded. We work to efficiently deliver this food directly to the community organizations and programs where it can have the greatest impact.

About Us

Lovin’ Spoonfuls is the largest food rescue agency in New England. Established in 2010, Lovin’ Spoonfuls serves 67 cities and towns in Greater Boston, MetroWest, Worcester County, and Hampden County, and works with 90+ vendors and over 200 nonprofit partners. We are committed to increasing awareness on topics related to wasted food, hunger, and climate change, as well as working with the communities we serve to share resources for preparing the food we provide.

Our Values + Diversity

Core values are the fundamental beliefs of an organization and act as guiding principles that help people understand the difference between right and wrong in the context of a mission. Our core values help move Lovin’ Spoonfuls down the path toward our mission.

Our inclusion tenets were developed out of an ongoing need for racial justice and equity in our community. We have a role to play in anti-racism, in building a culture that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive.

Everyone has a seat at our table.

At Lovin’ Spoonfuls, we believe all people have value for the unique perspectives and experiences they bring.  We operate without discrimination in diverse communities across Massachusetts and endeavor to mirror that representation in our own organization. Our goal is to create and foster a diverse and inclusive workplace and organization where everyone can bring their whole selves, where all people are valued.
