I learned that businesses that sells food in America throw away tons of perfectly good food because it's imperfect, few days b4 expire date, end of deli day or a store reset with new packaging...etc. That food can fill our extremely low food banks which lots of families rely on especially now with groceries so expensive!! During this challenge I mainly rescued food from stores in my community & donated it to my communities food Bank. 100's of food items where collected daily from 1 neighborhood convenience store!! Also collected extra vegi from my community gardens & neighbors gardens to donate too! Our state has a law called "The Good Samaritan" law that doesn't hold the business responsible if someone gets sick from their foods that has been donated to a food bank. No reason why all businesses should donate unused food products to our local food banks
I rescued @ 100 coffee drinks from my local corner store after a product reset. Products were ment for the dumpster due to label change & couldn't be sold. Got permission from the GM to rescue the items & I donated some to a local nursing home, my local food shelf & a few to my neighbors!! *A very happy resident from the nursing home enjoying her coffee drinks!!!
