TC Food Justice
FOOD RESCUE PROGRAM
TCFJ finds donors with excess produce that they wish to donate instead of discard; partner with nearby hunger relief organizations to plan weekly produce drop-offs; and coordinate volunteers to collect, sort, and deliver the food by bike or by car. They serve smaller grocers and hunger relief organizations that have been excluded from traditional, larger-scale food rescue programs. TCFJ delivers food the same or next day, maximizing its quality and likelihood of being consumed. All deliveries operate free of cost to donor and recipient organizations.
So far this year, they have already rescued tens of thousands of pounds of food and delivered to those in need. This is only the start. Here is a map of the farmers markets we are confirmed to be working with this summer:
