OUR PROGRAMS
Investing In Our Community. Everyday.
At Aangen, our programs are more than services—they’re how we live our mission.
As a non-profit social enterprise, we channel all proceeds and donations into nutritious meals and equal opportunity employment. Our team works hand-in-hand with community members to build practical, lasting solutions that meet people where they are.
Every program is supported by our circular economy—meaning 100% of your donations go directly to recipients, while operational costs are funded by Aangen’s social enterprises.

Our Approach
We are a quadruple bottom line organization—measuring success by people, planet, profit and purpose. Every program we run grows from community needs and is delivered with a focus on equity, sustainability and accountability.
How It Works:
-
All donations to a specific program go directly to that initiative—no admin fees taken
-
Aangen’s operational costs are covered through our services, not your generosity
-
Your support creates jobs, feeds families and connects surplus goods with unmet needs
Aangen is a place where an egg is not just an egg, and a job is not just a job. It’s where resources turn into opportunity—and where impact grows from the ground up.
Lessen Food Waste At Home
Even small daily changes create long-term impact. Here’s how you can start today:
1
Food Rescue At Home
Compost your kitchen scraps—fruit, veg, eggshells and coffee grounds—to create nutrient-rich soil and reduce landfill waste.
2
Meal Planning and Preservation
Cut food waste by planning meals and preserving what you can’t eat right away. Try freezing, pickling, canning or dehydrating your extras.
3
Soil Rejuvenation At Home
Collect leaves, grass clippings and natural materials to use as mulch. It improves soil health, retains moisture and supports your garden’s ecosystem.
