Food Respect and Recovery
Respecting Our Resources and Reducing Food Waste
Food recovery is the practice of collecting wholesome food that would otherwise go to waste and donating it to local food distribution agencies to help feed those in need. Food is collected from places such as farms, schools, restaurants, grocery stores and produce markets. Below are three resources to participate, donate, or volunteer.
