To help reduce food waste and provide essential nutrition to families in need, consider donating wholesome food for human consumption. Nonperishable and unspoiled perishable foods can be donated from homes and businesses to food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters. Additionally, prepared foods from restaurants, caterers, and other food establishments can be donated to feed those struggling. Farmers' and glean donations can also provide fresh produce to families in need, improving their overall health and well-being.
