"I (Susan) come from a family of 8 kids. We never had leftovers or even seconds, but we had enough. We grew up knowing that wasting food was just wrong. To know that there are people in my community who suffer from hunger hurts my heart. ExtraFood’s mission of collecting perfectly good excess food and redirecting it to folks with food insecurity just aligns with my values. Plus, it is ecologically sound. My Italian grandmother would be proud of me for supporting this organization."
