Leftovers Foundation

The Leftovers Foundation is committed to reducing food waste, increasing access, and developing innovative, industry-leading social venture programs that change the way people think about sustainability. Our mission is to grow across Canada and provide an opportunity for hardworking volunteers, partners, donors, and service agencies to realize their visions – a world free of poverty, food waste, and environmental harm.  

Kin is a social initiative that uses PWYW (Pay What You Want) principles to increase food access by building dignity into every customer’s experience. We are launching two models this year: 

Kin Corner Store, a PWYW grocery store.

Kin Kitchen, a cafe and community gathering space built in partnership with YMCA Calgary.
