Our 1% for the Planet partner UpClear brought us into their CPG Data Summit and Blue Launch this week in NYC, to ensure all extra catered food was connected to our neighbors in need. Steak skewers, grilled shrimp, hummus, breakfast sandwiches, and bagels were brought to a nearby community fridge. Sammie chatted with three different people that were picking up from the community fridge as she dropped off, so we know the food was enjoyed right away! We also launched a food drive with UpClear-- from now until June 18, UpClear is challenging their CPG partners to donate any of their surplus inventory to FoodRecovery.org. Please join us in this commitment to make sure all food is enjoyed, not thrown away! We are extremely grateful to have a partnership with UpClear! #Partnership #UpClear #Event #FoodRecovery #Nonprofit

Thanks to incredible partners like the Community Foundation of New Jersey, who have donated 10 crates of delicious lettuce, green beans, and mushrooms, we are helping connect food to communities most in need. They have helped us expand outreach in the region. From compensating drivers to expanding capacity, the Community Foundation of New Jersey helped FoodRecovery.org ensure less food is wasted, and more reaches community members like those at Monmouth Community. At FoodRecovery.org, we connect food donors with nonprofits to fight hunger and reduce waste. Our solutions make it easy to donate or receive food while helping the environment. All for free. #foodrecovery #food #explorepage #communities #nonprofit
