“There was a gap between abundance & need in the community. We use a warehouse & volunteer network run entirely by students. We've gone from class project to sustainable effort by asking, 'Why not?'” -Mr. Levi Grimm (@levigrimm2), Exec. Dir. @jeefoods #2024UNCSC #WeCommit #IVECA

Congratulations to all of our JEE members who participated at DECA districts today! We couldn’t be prouder of the young, bright individuals who make up our team. Go get them at State!! 🙌🏻

Special Announcement! Since being founded in 2018, JEE Foods has officially distributed over 8 MILLION lbs of food! 🎉 Distributing a few thousand our first year, every year we’ve grown and we don’t plan to stop here. We continue to do our part to help end world hunger!

We’re thrilled to be working with the student Changemakers at Monroe to redirect excess cafeteria food to local pantries! 🍎 If you’re education and know of a class, teacher, or club that we can work with to nourish the community, please let us know!

Last year, MJHS & MHS students in the Environmental Club began noticing a lot of food waste in the garbage after lunch. With that in mind, club members conducted a survey of their peers to learn why this happened & what they could do to fix it. Read more: bit.ly/48xyyB6

Have you signed up yet? Hear from our executive director and state wide sustainability leaders on ways to curb food waste and divert perfectly good excess to those in need.

What a fun (and competitive!!) way to start the JEE year! We went down to @gameshowbattle for some team-bonding and had a blast. Glad to see some new faces to the team as well 👀

When the buyer rejected a shipment of beautiful strawberries late on a Friday afternoon, our team and friends at @lastmilefood sprung into action to keep them out of the landfill. Within an hour, they were on the ground and delivered to those in-need.

“Motivation to start an NGO came from our school district. They provided resources & we needed to run with it. Every student had a different passion. We came together asking, 'Why not?'" -Mr. Levi Grimm (@levigrimm2) Exec. Dir. @jeefoods #HLPF2023 #GlobalCitizenship #SDGs #IVECA

Can’t think of a better way to begin the week than a food rescue! The rescue was done at Miami University, where LOTS of prepared food was delivered to those in-need.

Shoutout to our Operations team for rescuing over 13,000 pounds of fresh dairy products today!! What a great start to the summer! ☀️

1/2 Hats off to our 2023 Martha Seward Rahfuse Memorial Scholarship recipient, Sara McGinnis! 🎓 A standout tennis player & three-time academic all-conference, Sara spends her time volunteering as the director of HR for @JeeFoods & serving in a number of student leadership roles.

Is it too late for spring cleaning? Our KY nonprofit partners just received a truck of excess cleaning supplies to distribute to their community.

In celebration of #ArborDay, the community joined us to sow seeds at our @RossRams1 fruit orchard to prepare for the summer months ahead. 🌱
