Rescue good food
One way to better serve Memphians who experience food insecurity is to increase donation of food we already have on hand. The Natural Resources Defense Council estimates that we could meet 19% of our meals gap through increased donation. To reach this goal, the Memphis Food Waste Project is:
- Performing an assessment of food distribution organizations to discover interest in and capacity for receiving additional donated food, particularly produce, protein and locally prepared meals.
- Partnering with local and state health officials to develop and advertise clear and concise guidelines for safe food donation.
- Exploring additional avenues for local agricultural gleaning.
