Every day, tonnes of perfectly good food are thrown away in Kenya — while children, families, and even university students go hungry.
FoodSharing Kenya makes it easy for individuals, shops, supermarkets, hotels, restaurants, farmers, markets, and events to safely donate surplus food instead of throwing it away.
Whether you’re a business with leftover stock or a household with extra food, you can make a direct impact.
Do you have surplus fruits, vegetables, packaged foods, or cooked meals you won’t finish?
Join our “Share It, Don’t Waste It – FoodSharing Kenya Community”

It’s a win-win for your business and the community.
Our volunteers or partner organizations will collect your surplus food at a time that works for you—no hassle.
You save money on garbage disposal and reduce the burden on Nairobi’s already overwhelmed landfills.
By donating food, you help reduce:
methane emissions
landfill waste
the carbon footprint of food production
Your business gets featured on:
the FoodSharing Kenya website
our social media pages
donor wall
university booths (optional)
Your surplus food helps feed:
university students
children in Korogocho, Mathare, Mukuru
families in need
shelters and community groups
Kenyan law supports good-faith food donations.
The Public Health Act, Food Safety Regulations, and Good Samaritan principles protect businesses that donate safe food instead of discarding it.
(If you want, I can add a special section titled “Is it legal to donate food in Kenya?” with citations.)
We accept safe surplus food, including:
Fruits & vegetables
Unopened dairy
Bread & pastries
Prepared meals (must be safe, labeled, and within time limits)
Cereals
Rice, flour, pasta
Canned foods
Snacks
Buffet leftovers (properly handled)
Packaged meals
Extra drinks
Produce surplus
“Ugly” vegetables
Excess harvest
When you donate food, you’re not just preventing waste — you’re feeding students, children, and families who need it most.
Your surplus food can change someone’s day.
Or their week.
Or their life.
