We are thrilled to share that our CEO and co-founder, Jessica Regan, was recently featured in the Vancouver Sun as a "Social Changemaker" for her relentless work in tackling food waste.
The article, Social changemaker gives food a second chance, dives into Jessica's journey from being "obsessed" with the problem of food waste to building FoodMesh into a network that now helps rescue one million meals every month.
In the feature, Jessica highlights a sobering reality: while one in four Canadians now face food insecurity, nearly 47% of all food produced in this country is never consumed. Jessica’s vision for FoodMesh has always been about more than just logistics—it’s about using business as a vehicle for social good.
"It’s almost like blending the heart of a nonprofit with the mind of a business. It’s not just what you do in your business, it’s also how you build it and how you treat your employees that matters." — Jessica Regan
Key highlights from the feature
- A decade of impact: As FoodMesh celebrates its 10th anniversary, we are reaching a milestone of $3 million in revenue sharing for its partners.
- B-Corp values: Jessica discusses the importance of maintaining rigorous standards for social and environmental impact.
We are incredibly proud of Jessica’s leadership and the collective impact our network continues to make.
