Every Click Feeds Hope: Close School Alum’s Vision With MrBeast Fighting Hunger

Alumnus Evan Ehlers’ journey from a simple campus initiative to co-founding Sharing Excess, a powerful force against hunger in Philadelphia, is truly inspiring. What began with redirecting unused meal swipes has blossomed into a wholesale food rescue operation distributing millions of pounds of food.

Now, Evan and Sharing Excess are once again partnering with MrBeast Philanthropy to amplify their impact, getting vital food resources to those who need them most.
