August 6, 2024

Mercedes-Benz Vans USA partnered with Goodr, an innovative organization dedicated to waste management and hunger solutions, and appointed Jasmine Crowe-Houston, Goodr Founder and CEO, as the first brand ambassador for the all-new eSprinter. Goodr was presented with the first refrigerated eSprinter Cargo Van by Mercedes-Benz in North America, with a custom upfit by Thermo King of Charleston refrigeration. This collaboration marks a significant step in promoting sustainability and hunger relief initiatives nationwide.

Founded in 2017, Goodr leverages innovative technology and a massive partner network to rescue surplus food and deliver quality meals to underserved communities. Last year, through its Surplus Food Recovery solution, Goodr diverted more than 1.3 million pounds of waste from landfills and prevented 714,759 pounds of carbon emissions. This collaboration with MBUSA not only helps Goodr continue to work toward combatting food waste and addressing food insecurity nationwide, but it also reduces greenhouse gas emissions for Goodr’s charitable partners.
