Don't Duplicate, Collaborate

by Jeremy Kiner, Co-Director

When you consider how much good, edible food is thrown away on a daily basis by restaurants and grocery stores, it is shocking that we actually have people in America, and in our very community, that go hungry.  I mean, how does that happen?!

 

Even in the toughest of economic times, I would argue that there is absolutely no shortage of food in this country, as evidenced by the 165 billion dollars of food we waste  each year (voluntarily, I might add).
