Maryland food rescue, driven by students
Surplus food, re-plated.
A business posts surplus food, a vetted student driver claims it and delivers it to a local shelter, and their service hours are logged automatically. Good food moves — and students get credit for moving it.
~2,300 tons of food are thrown out in Maryland every day. Let's move some of it.

How it works
A relay, not a marketplace.
We don't just connect surplus to need — we carry it the last few miles. Watch the line fill: that's the food actually moving.
Who it helps
One trip, three wins.
Businesses
Free, tax-deductible pickups, less waste, and a clean record of meals donated.
Shelters & food banks
Reliable delivery to the door — not just a match and a hope someone shows up.
Students
Verified, exportable service hours for college, scholarships, and NHS.
Why Crumbless is different
Plenty of apps match. Almost none deliver.
01
We move the food
Other apps match a donor to a shelter and leave the driving to chance. Our student drivers are the delivery layer — the food actually gets there.
02
Mission-driven drivers
Students earning service hours, not paid gig workers. That means near-zero cost and a self-replenishing pool of motivated drivers.
03
Verified hours, built in
The only platform that turns each delivery into logged, exportable service hours — valuable to the student and the schools that trust them.
The problem we're chipping at
0
tons of food thrown away in Maryland — every day
Maryland Department of the Environment, 2024 (~850,000 tons disposed)
Every Crumbless delivery does three jobs at once: it keeps good food out of the landfill, it puts a real meal in front of someone who needs it, and it turns a student's afternoon into verified service hours. One trip, three jobs.
Live demo
Try the whole loop, right here.
Post food as a business, switch to the student side, claim the route, and deliver it. The hours log themselves. No sign-up — it runs in your browser.
One shared store — actions on one side update the other.
Safety & trust
Built for the questions schools and parents ask first.
Student vetting
Sign-up collects a driver's license and proof of insurance. An admin approves each student before they can claim a route.
Guardian consent
Minors provide a guardian consent and contact at sign-up — built in, not bolted on.
Food safety
Simple handling guidance appears at pickup, and category tags flag anything that needs refrigeration.
Donor liability
Donations are generally protected under the federal Good Samaritan Food Donation Act. Not legal advice — confirm specifics with a lawyer.
Accountability
Optional photo capture at pickup and drop-off creates a verifiable record for both the donation and the logged hours.
