What they do
Businesses waste large amounts of surplus prepared food because there is no efficient, safe logistics system to redistribute it to nonprofits that can use it.
Copia provides a technology platform that lets organizations request surplus food pickups, matches them with nonprofits, and coordinates safe delivery while tracking data and tax benefits.
Food service operators and institutions such as corporate cafeterias, universities, hospitals, grocers, caterers, and food management companies use it to donate surplus food.
