Mission

Rock and wrap it up is a global think tank working to reduce food insecurity and poverty. Using green house tactics, we recover food and assets to be given to agencies fighting poverty, increasing their operating budgets. This allows the agencies to hire more services such as tutors, social workers, job placement counselors and mental health counselors to attack the root cause of poverty. Rock and wrap it up recovers food from sports, schools, music, film, television, hospitals and hotels. Rock and wrap it up helped to write the federal food donation act of 2008 which encourages all federal buildings to feed the hungry and keep food out of landfills.
