Overview

Mission

Securing Safe Food Corp. is dedicated to fighting food insecurity among individuals with food allergies and improving access to allergen-free foods. Through strategic partnerships with food pantries, we aim to revolutionize food options for under-resourced, allergen-avoidant families by providing nutritionally balanced alternatives.

What it reported doing in 2024

Program services involve Securing Safe Food Corp.'s work to partner with food pantries across the U.S., providing allergen-free foods for under-resourced households with food allergies and other adverse reactions to foods. From August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2025, the organization facilitated the delivery of 16,028 pounds of food (30,978 items) to 39 pantries, with the majority of deliveries being food rescue and in partnership with allergen-friendly food manufacturers. These partners are committed to sending in-kind donations, primarily of foods that would otherwise go to waste. Securing Safe Food promotes food equity and improves access to safe, allergen-free foods by printing and distributing bilingual (English/Spanish) signage for food pantries to establish dedicated allergen-friendly zones, eliminate stigma surrounding dietary restrictions, and make clients aware of food options. Clients can sign up on Securing Safe Food's website to receive text or email alerts when new allergen-free foods arrive at their local pantry. These initiatives aim to reduce food insecurity among specialty diet populations.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
