We have more than enough for everyone.

Let’s connect the people, food, and resources to make it happen.

Found Food Co. helps organizations strengthen food access, build food rescue partnerships, and bring people together to move shared work forward.

How I can help

Food access & food rescue

Connect surplus food with community needs. I help organizations work through partnerships, pickup logistics, community refrigerators, and shared resources to build an approach that works locally.

Coalition building & facilitation

Bring the right people together and give the conversation somewhere to go. I help groups identify shared priorities, work through obstacles, and leave with clear next steps and responsibilities.

Speaking & workshops

Make room for honest conversations, practical ideas, and new possibilities. Topics include food systems, community-led solutions, nonprofit leadership, and building connections that lead to action.

Hi, I’m Aubrey.

I’m a community builder, systems thinker, and someone who likes figuring out how we can make things work better—together.

I co-founded and led Eat Greater Des Moines for ten years, working with community organizations, businesses, volunteers, and neighbors to move more food where it was needed.

Now, through Found Food Co., I help organizations connect people and resources, work through the details, and turn shared ideas into action.

You don’t have to figure it all out alone.
