Food recovery means collecting edible food that would otherwise go to waste and redistributing it to feed people in need. This is the highest and best use for food that would otherwise go to waste. Californians send 11.2 billion pounds of food to landfills each year, some of which was still fresh enough to have been recovered.
While billions of meals go to waste, millions of Californians don’t have enough to eat. When you participate in food recovery, you are helping serve a vulnerable part of our community while playing a part in protecting our environment.
