Our initiatives are rooted in a strong commitment to giving back to the communities we serve. At Mangia, we believe that good food should never go to waste when there are individuals and families who can benefit from it. That is why we proudly support local food rescue organizations by donating unsold food at the end of each day, as well as surplus food from catering events and other services. Through this ongoing effort, we are helping turn excess food into meaningful support for people in need.

Every evening, our dedicated delivery crew takes an active role in making this mission possible. Rather than allowing quality, freshly prepared food to go unused, our team carefully collects the remaining food and works with local shelters, community organizations, and food rescue partners to ensure it reaches people who need it most. This process allows us to make a positive difference while also taking practical steps toward reducing unnecessary food waste.
Our partnership with trusted food rescue organizations across the United States has helped us extend the impact of these efforts beyond our own operations. Together, we work to connect surplus food with communities and organizations that can distribute it efficiently and responsibly. These partnerships are an important part of our commitment to creating a more sustainable and compassionate food system.
This year alone, we have donated more than 250,000 food items to help feed local communities. Every donated meal represents more than food—it represents an opportunity to support someone experiencing hardship, provide nourishment to a family, and strengthen the communities around us. We are proud of the difference these contributions can make, and we remain committed to increasing our positive impact wherever possible.
Food rescue is also an important part of our broader approach to sustainability. By redirecting edible surplus away from waste and toward those who can use it, we help reduce the environmental impact associated with discarded food. At the same time, our efforts support shelters and community organizations that work every day to provide essential services to vulnerable individuals and families.
We recognize that meaningful community support is an ongoing responsibility, not a one-time initiative. Our goal is to continue building strong relationships with food rescue partners, improving our donation practices, and finding new ways to contribute to the communities we serve. We are grateful to our team members, partners, and customers who help make these efforts possible.
At Mangia, we believe that every meal has the potential to make a difference. By donating surplus food, reducing waste, and working alongside organizations dedicated to helping others, we are taking practical steps toward a stronger, healthier, and more caring community. We look forward to continuing this important work and ensuring that good food reaches the people who need it most.
