Student Jobs

Goodie Bag is a marketplace that connects customers with local restaurants and food businesses to access the best deals on high-quality local food. By helping businesses sell unsold items instead of throwing them away, Goodie Bag reduces food waste while making great food more affordable and accessible to the community.

Goodie Bag has partnered with over 800 local restaurants and has saved nearly 165,000 meals from going to waste. The platform is built on a simple idea: good food should not go to waste, and everyone should have access to it.

Goodie Bag is currently live across Colorado’s Front Range, as well as in Milwaukee and Madison, Wisconsin; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Charleston, South Carolina, with continued expansion underway, including a launch in New York City.
