Learn More Our History It all started when Casidy Sterner was an 8-year old boy volunteering at a food bank with his father, Ewell Sterner. Casidy was naturally confused and upset by what he saw – people hungry and homeless right in his own backyard. He turned to his father and said, “Why is this? We must do more.” Ewell who worked in the hospitality industry, saw an opportunity to connect the food he saw wasted each day with individuals and families suffering from hunger. From there, Hunger at Home was born. What We Do Today, Hunger at Home partners with local convention centers, hotels, senior communities, and sports stadiums throughout Silicon Valley to collect excess food and goods. This food and goods are then distributed to hungry and homeless individuals through a robust nonprofit network. To date, Hunger at Home has donated more than 14 million meals locally and helped distribute much needed goods like towels, blankets, kitchen items, and hygiene kits. This effort results in tens of thousands of pounds of excess food diverted from our landfills and ensures the one in four people facing food insecurity in our community do not go hungry.

What We Do Hunger at Home is a leader in the fight against food insecurity in Silicon Valley, where tens of thousands of pounds of food are discarded daily, despite one in four people experiencing hunger. Since 2015, we’ve pioneered the recovery and repurposing of surplus food, transforming it into millions of meals for those in need. Through strategic partnerships with 35+ local businesses, including restaurants, convention centers, hotels, and sports stadiums, we’re at the forefront of rescuing and repurposing surplus food, reducing waste, and maximizing community impact. We leverage our robust nonprofit network to make sure the food gets distributed to those in need. At Hunger at Home, we’re not just providing meals—we’re leading the way in creating a more sustainable and equitable future for all. Learn about our impact through our 2025 Impact Report Executive Team Ewell Sterner Chief Executive Officer Ewell Sterner Chief Executive Officer Ewell Sterner is a statewide expert in food rescue and a member of the California Food Recovery Coalition. He founded Hunger at Home in 2008, which he launched after witnessing tremendous food waste during his 25+ year career as a hospitality executive. With more than 40% of all food produced globally thrown away, Ewell founded Hunger at Home on the belief that hunger is not a problem of food scarcity, but one of logistics. That became the driving force behind the organization which has since grown into one of Silicon Valley’s leading food recovery and repurposing nonprofits. Under Ewell’s leadership, Hunger at Home has launched numerous programs and initiatives focused on rescuing perfectly edible food and delivering it to families, seniors, veterans, and college students facing food insecurity. His work centers on bringing together multiple segments of the community—from hospitality businesses and food distribution companies to a broad network of nonprofit partners—to harness the power of food rescue and maximize impact. In 2020, Ewell led Hunger at Home’s rapid COVID-19 response by launching a weekly drive-through food distribution program that now serves more than 52,000 people annually. He also pioneered a robust nonprofit partner model to efficiently expand the distribution of rescued food to diverse communities countywide. Committed to long-term solutions, Ewell founded the Hunger at Home Youth Council to engage high school and college students in addressing hunger and advancing environmental sustainability. His impact and leadership have been recognized broadly, including with a Silicon Valley Business Journal’s 2024 Community Impact Award.

In addition to direct distributions, we supply food to shelters and nonprofit partners that serve unhoused individuals, seniors, and families in need. Learn More Food Rescue and Repurpose Hunger at Home partners with venues, hotels, and restaurants of all sizes to rescue edible surplus food—whether it’s prepared meals, raw vegetables, fruit, or meat—and ensures it reaches those in need. Recent California law (SB 1383) requires local businesses to repurpose edible food with the goal of 75% reduction of organic waste disposal by 2025. We assist your business in complying by collecting and repurposing surplus food, with a strong focus on food safety. Each donation is handled with strict adherence to current health and safety guidelines, ensuring it’s safe for consumption. We manage everything from collection to safe handling and distribution, transforming your contributions into nutritious meals for the community. Learn More Feeding Future Leaders Initiative Hunger at Home piloted a program this year in partnership with The Health Trust and San Jose State University Spartan Pantry to provide meals for food insecure students at SJSU. SJSU is not alone. Throughout this process, we learned that food insecurity is a growing crisis across California’s college campuses. 38% of students at community colleges and 29% at four-year colleges experienced food insecurity in the last month. More than 40% of college students who experience food insecurity report that it negatively impacts their academic performance. Hunger at Home is providing 25,000 free, nutritious meals to the SJSU Spartan Pantry this academic year, including a variety of individual, microwaveable meal options to accommodate allergies, dietary preferences, and cultural needs. Our goal is to expand this pilot program to all the colleges and universities in Silicon Valley. Interested in learning more? Contact Ewell Sterner at [email protected] .

If you’re connected to senior care—maybe a family member, maybe you work in the field—you’ve wondered: where do seniors get consistent, healthy meals when they can’t shop or cook for themselves? Especially in a place like San Francisco or anywhere else in Silicon Valley, where cost of living and isolation hit hard. Hunger at Home is answering that question through partnerships with senior centers and assisted living homes . See what that looks like on the ground, how it works, and why it matters. The result is better access to food for older adults and less waste across the community. San Francisco has thousands of seniors living on fixed incomes. Some have mobility issues. Some don’t drive. Many live alone. Meals don’t show up unless someone makes it happen. That’s where Hunger at Home steps in, delivering meals and essentials directly to senior centers and care facilities across the city. These aren’t boxes full of dry staples. They’re ready-to-eat meals that are balanced and made with fresh ingredients—rescued from local businesses that would’ve otherwise thrown them out. That loop—rescue, prep, delivery—is fast. It’s built on relationships with stadiums, hotels, and convention centers that have the scale to produce more food than they serve. That extra food doesn’t get dumped. It gets sorted and passed into the hands of seniors who need it, through a network of nonprofit partners. San Francisco distribution sites include assisted living homes and low-income housing developments where residents wait in line early, even in the rain. Across Silicon Valley, where housing costs haven’t let up and retirement doesn’t come with stability, seniors face choices they shouldn’t have to make. Hunger at Home builds around that reality. The organization moves quickly, doesn’t overcomplicate the process, and reaches groups that are already embedded in these neighborhoods. When food shows up, it’s ready to eat and easy to carry. Meals don’t sit in pantries—they get eaten the same day. Blankets, hygiene kits, and kitchen basics come along with the food. All of it matters. No one who built the backbone of this region should have to go hungry now. Hunger at Home keeps those meals coming, every week.
