What officials can do together to help support members of our extended families!
We are committed to eliminate food waste at sports events by donating items and foodstuffs gathered by officials’ groups to local organizations that can redistribute those items to shelters or unhoused individuals.
Events voucher system purchases leave $3500 on the table over a 3 day event, either unused food or discarded by officials.

We can donate the 20% of unused food for officials at volleyball events with no legal liability to the tournament directors or RefsGiving staff because of the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Act.
Overall thousands of dollars are wasted which could be used to support unhoused individuals and local shelters in the immediate areas of all local tournaments.

Volunteer
As a non-profit organization, volunteers are our lifeblood. Volunteers collect food and items, drive trucks, and promote our work across the community. If making a measurable impact on the lives of people in our community sounds like something you want to be a part of, sign up to volunteer. We’d love to have you join our Family!

In the United States, food waste is estimated at between 30–40 percent of the food supply.
On a per-person basis, this equates to about 548 pounds of extra food, a 1.9% increase since 2016.
Our youth (ages 18-25) is the fastest growing segment of the unsheltered homeless population.
The AAU Cares program was started in 2016 as a way for the AAU to give back to the community.
