The profits from their operations go toward helping the poor in developing countries.<\/p>\n<p>The suppliers come from a variety of sources (retail grocery chains, butcher shops, importers and others) and are donated to the stores. Not only that, there are volunteers who help with picking up and dropping off the food, stocking shelves and helping man the grocery stores.<\/p>\n<p>The primary goals are to reduce food waste and use the proceeds to feed the world\u2019s poorest people.
