School Partnership Food Recovery

In addition to providing food assistance, we are committed to reducing waste through our School Food Recovery Program, which collects unopened food that would otherwise be discarded in school cafeterias. During the 2024-2025 school year, we recovered 19,266 pounds of food from 12 participating schools. The food we collect is quickly distributed to our guests during our Tuesday and Wednesday distribution hours, ensuring that nutritious items reach those who need them most.
