ExtraFood is honored to be featured in the Pacific Sun as one of their Nonprofit Heroes of the North Bay. In the article, Founder and Executive Director Marv Zauderer discusses how ExtraFood is leading a movement to transform Marin’s food system: from wasting food to donating it to people in need.
Located in rural Lucas Valley, this 80-unit low-income housing project, created by Bridge Housing in partnership with Rotary Club of Terra Linda and the County of Marin, has been in operation since 1997. Winner of a 1998 Gold Nugget Award for “Best in the West” from the Pacific Coast Builders Conference and an award from the National Council on Senior Aging, Rotary Valley consists of charming one-story bungalow apartments with porches. Every Sunday, the residents gather together and create a mini food pantry to distribute the produce that we bring them from the Civic Center farmers’ market. And they never want to miss their delicious weekly donation that arrives from Bon Appetit Management Company on Thursdays!
