# Replate

> Replate is a tech-enabled nonprofit that reduces food waste and food insecurity by connecting businesses with surplus food to nearby community organizations. Through a web-based platform, companies schedule on-demand or recurring pickups in a few clicks, and Replate's 'Friendly Food Rescuers' collect and deliver the food along optimized routes. Donors track the social and environmental impact of every donation - meals delivered, water saved, and CO2 diverted - through a personalized dashboard. Founded in 2016 by Maen Mahfoud, Replate operates across major U.S. cities and the Middle East.
