The Impact of Food Waste

• The USDA estimates that 30-40% of all food is wasted in the US! 
• Wasted food = wasted resources
  (grocery budget, water, energy, labor)

Give Back to Your Community 

• Donate unused, non-expired food to local food banks (visit our Food Donation page for a directory)
• Partner with programs like Feeding America or your local food pantry 
• Support businesses that donate their surplus food
