Business Plan
We are a start up non-profit. Our end goal is to be able to feed the homeless and veterans for as long as possible. We will eventually branch out to other states and extend our program there. We would like to work with governmental agencies to connect with our homeless citizens. We would then develop and implement educational and vocational programs to bring our citizens back into society. Our mission is to provide reliable, healthy meals to the homeless and poor that will enable a return to a self-sufficient life. In addition to very good food, we also serve dignity and respect to our clients. More than 130,000 Veterans are homeless and hungry on any given night in America. One in three homeless people in America is a U.S. Military Veteran. And nearly four million Veterans and their families don’t have enough to eat during the year. We provide food for veterans throughout the US.

Self Identified Competition
We Don't Waste Volunteers of America Coalition For the Homeless We're different from our competitors because we would like to reach out to ALL restaurants, ALL supermarkets, ALL Stadiums and collect that food that is thrown away daily but is till edible and give to those who would other wise go hungry. We intend to propose legislation/have waivers signed, that would allow vendors to contribute with out the fear of being sued.
