So few companies contribute to their communities. These things should be celebrated more

Avoiding food waste isn't that complicated. Denver's local nonprofit, We Don't Waste (WDW), has saved over 50 million pounds of fresh food since 2009, mitigating an estimated 97 million pounds of CO2. ⬇ ⬇ It starts with partnership - WDW has developed an efficient pipeline to invite local Denver businesses and organizations to their food donor network. Simplicity creates volume and consistency - WDW's team handles all the labor and logistics involved in the food donation process. All food-donor organizations have to do is hand their waste over. In this way, their network of partners grows by word-of-mouth. and partners see no reason to leave the network. Efficient distribution = more donations - The faster food goes out the door and into the hands of the hungry, the more food donations WDW can accept. WDW's 2-pronged distribution system does this expertly. a) Food is distributed for free to their growing network of partner food banks. WDW simply gives local food banks their food donations, who handle the distribution. b) WDW's Mobile Markets specifically target 50 Denver neighborhoods with abysmally low access to fresh food. These "meals on wheels" type operations can set up anywhere and distribute fresh food on demand to anyone who needs it at incredibly low cost. The income is directly funneled into WDW's food collection and distribution efforts. Why not get involved? Check them out below
