Our Focus
Food Insecurity
According to the USDA, more than 38 million people, including 12 million children experience food insecurity in the United States.
Food Waste
Each year, 108 billion pounds of food is wasted in the United States, which equates to 130 billion meals, more than $408 billion, and nearly 40% of all food in America being wasted.
Humanitarian Assistance
Forward Future chapters volunteer in food pantries and food banks packaging food, stocking shelves, and distributing essential items to those in need.
Climate Change
When wasted food rots in a landfill, it produces huge amounts of methane — a greenhouse gas at least 28 times as potent as carbon dioxide.

Our Mission
Forward Future is a youth-run, youth-supported organization dedicated to serving underprivileged communities through the development of modern solutions such as mobile applications and humanitarian assistance.
Our goal is to improve the lives of people by addressing the basic needs of health, shelter, and education through developing services for the 21st century.
