If it's empty, fill it.

We believe that if it's empty, fill it.
If it's full, empty it.

We believe that oftentimes surplus ends up
in America's landfills, rather than with the people who are hungry.

We believe that we can create a direct path
between need and surplus.

Fill up America started in 2001 with a simple concept: we live in a world of plenty and want to spread the surplus to those who need it. We pride ourselves on being an all-volunteer, non-profit organization, and every cent donated goes directly to feeding our community.

We at Fill Up America are dedicated to connecting need with surplus. Our plan is simple. We talk with those in need: sanctuaries, food kitchens, women's & men's shelters, children's homes and find out what would make their lives richer. Next we contact manufacturers and distributors and ask what they can donate or even what they plan to throw away. Then we connect the dots.

Fill Up America is a 501(c)3 organization, number 91-2158747.
