The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Agriculture, and Food & Drug Administration announced a collaborative approach to reducing food loss and waste that elevates food recovery as a government-endorsed strategy for addressing hunger in our communities. More info here.
Our Recipient of the Week is LIFT-Levántate, whose mission is to promote healthy, equitable communities, especially those communities with limited resources. Their Community Health Hub in the Canal is one of the examples of their “whole health” model, where they provide healthy produce, physical activity classes, and health screenings to underserved residents. This week ExtraFood will be providing LIFT with donated food for their 10am-1pm March 7 event at McInnis Park that LIFT is presenting in collaboration with Marin County Parks, “Family Fun: Spring Wakeup.” http://www.marincountyparks.org/depts/pk/calendar#/?i=1
