Every semester at CU Boulder, thousands of pounds of perfectly good food go to waste. At the same time, many students struggle to afford high-quality meals. Goodie Bag is the perfect solution to bridge this gap.

Founded by two CU alumni and a CU professor in Boulder in 2022, Goodie Bag is a mobile app based platform connecting people directly with quality unsold food from local shops at a fraction of the price.

We have grown from an idea that won a CU pitch competition, into a nationally scaled social impact startup; saving 100,000+ goodie bags from being wasted, $1.5 million in consumer savings, and driving $3M+ in revenue for local businesses.

Now it’s time to bring this impact home to CU Boulder. A partnership between CU and Goodie Bag would create a win-win-win scenario; students get affordable meals, CU increases revenue, and collectively we reduce food waste and the consequential environmental impact. 

Join us in calling on CU Boulder to partner with Goodie Bag and become a pioneer in creating a more sustainable and affordable campus food system!
