Did you know that 40% all of the food produced in the United States each year is wasted? It’s hard to believe that, in a country where nearly 50 million people face hunger each day, so much food could end up in a landfill. Yet, this is precisely what is happening – and we’re all partially to blame. Food is being wasted at every level of the supply chain: on the farm, during distribution, at the store, and in our homes.
Our network is dedicated to reducing food waste. In addition to rescuing food during moves and helping with food drives, several moving companies also assist with large scale food rescue events, such as gleaning (transporting excess harvests from farms to food banks), delivering food from grocery stores to food banks, and recovering leftover food from large events, such as marathons. These events are an easy way to bring in tons of food with minimal effort, and will help to keep the shelves at your local food bank fully stocked.
We want to help you make a BIG impact in 2017. Contact Kara today to learn how your company can go the extra mile to reduce food waste and fight hunger this year.
