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.
A phenomenal volunteer, Ellen is an ExtraFood Food Recovery Hero – a long-time, dedicated member of our incredible team of 300+ volunteers, who has volunteered for ExtraFood for more than 3 years, and has demonstrated extraordinary dependability, commitment, and passion for our mission. She’s been a volunteer food runner since early 2014, helps organize our annual Volunteer Appreciation event every year, helped launch our volunteer name badge “milestone” incentive program, is a mainstay at ExtraFood fundraising events, and was our 2017 Volunteer of the Year. What’s more, she’s jumped in to support the Sunday Civic Center Farmers Market volunteer teams so many times, we’ve lost count. This past Sunday she helped an unusually small team glean, sort, and deliver over 500 pounds of food. Whew! Are we ever glad to heave Ellen on our team!
