Food
Recovery
In partnership with Second Harvest, and Cobb’s Bread, we have been able to recover an ongoing supply of fresh bread and retail food items, for distribution via our Emergency Food Hamper program. We are grateful for the periodic large-scale recoveries, organized by Second Harvest, that have allowed us to facilitate the receipt and distribution of large-scale food rescues, diverting from the commercial food chain viable food items that would otherwise be discarded.
