Getting food to people who need it while also reducing food waste requires many hands. As one food recovery non-profit leader said, “We need everybody to get involved. It’s not like one group can do the best job. It’s a spectrum all the way from the farmers to the families.” And, especially important are the volunteers! A robust network of community members committed to food recovery – moving surplus food from businesses like grocery stores to individuals and families facing food insecurity – exists in San Mateo County. Everyone is welcome to participate.
