White Pony Express

East Bay nonprofit faces massive setback after government cuts, and now stolen $85K van abc7news.com/post/concord-n…

Over 246 million unsold meals went to people in need from CalRecycle funding. @WhitePonyEx has used the grant to expand its program and rescue nearly 6.8 million surplus meals to feed #ContraCosta families instead of landfills. #FoodWasteActionWeek

WPE is honored to be one of the @friendlychamber beneficiaries. Their donation will help support our mission to alleviate hunger and uplift lives. Partnerships like these remind us of the enhanced impact local organizations make when they join forces for a common cause!😊❤️

As part of WPE’s year-end campaign, we challenged supporters to help us keep our engines revving in 2025! Fuel for a year costs $100K, and thanks to YOU, we’ve raised $84,400! Donations are being matched for 2 more weeks—help us reach our goal and fuel love & nourishment! 🚛💨

Today, we celebrate the courage, sacrifice, and dedication of our veterans and active-duty service members, including our very own Fleet & Facilities Manager, Lucas Soltero, who is currently deployed. Thank you Lucas, and all veterans for your commitment and selfless service.

As we approach the close of a remarkable year, White Pony Express commits to continuing to expand access to fresh, healthy food for our most vulnerable neighbors. Today marks the launch of our “Onward and Upward” campaign to secure the $600,000 needed to operate. Donate today!
