Pledge to make a difference, together.
Our mission is to reduce food waste in our communities by diverting viable foodstuffs, including pumpkins, to farms, animal sanctuaries and rescues for feed or compost. PFPF started in 2017 with 10 donation sites in Loudoun County, Virginia with the aim of reducing food waste one pumpkin at a time. Since then, we have grown to over 600 donation sites in 45 states and Canada. In 2023, we diverted 800 tons (1.6 million pounds) of pumpkins and other foodstuffs from landfills into the mouths of some very hungry and happy animals. That's the equivalent of the carbon (CO2) emissions of 72 passenger vehicles for a year! And, we are just getting started!
