Established in January 2022, the TAWA Compost Food Rescue project is rapidly growing and driven by a clear mission. We're dedicated to reducing food waste by composting and rescuing edible items that would otherwise end up in landfills.

Around 40% of the food we process is redistributed for human consumption through partnerships with Los Angeles non-profit organizations. Our commitment to sustainability is evident, and our REGEN CORPS Workforce Development Program plays a crucial role. This program empowers individuals from various backgrounds, equipping them with valuable skills and knowledge, not only supporting our food rescue and composting efforts but also opening doors to career opportunities.

Central to our mission is producing high-quality compost, which enhances landscapes and promotes sustainable agriculture. We aim to inspire individuals to participate in zero-waste initiatives, aligning with 14 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

We go beyond waste management, championing methods to convert waste into energy and valuable raw materials. We believe in making the most of every resource to build a sustainable future.

We collaborate with local community gardens and plan to expand into urban centers, providing fresh produce and compost to enhance soil quality and community well-being. People from various regions, including LA County, Antelope Valley, Riverside, and Orange County, have been drawn to our food distribution. 

Our mission is not just about waste management and sustainability. We're committed to providing in creating valuable experience through our REGEN CORPS Workforce Development Program, inspiring the next generation of scientists and entrepreneurs to lead the way toward a more sustainable and innovative future.
