Foodeliver Team

Ali Shaker, is an educator, researcher, and community builder who believes no good meal should ever go to waste—or go unshared. After years in education and non-profit leadership, he founded Foodeliver to make food access simple, sustainable, and full of heart. His vision: fewer hungry families, less wasted food, and a city where kindness travels on four wheels. Because delivery brings dignity. Many families can’t always reach food banks or carry heavy bags on buses so bringing food to their door ensures access with respect, privacy, and care. We meet families where they are, not where they have to go.
