Grateful for Food Recovery Partners
Life for all of us has changed dramatically since March. But one thing that hasn’t changed is the community support we receive, and that includes support from our food recovery and fundraising partners. Thank you all; we couldn’t do it without you.
What is Food Recovery?
Food recovery includes donations from grocery stores, restaurants and food stores. These donations – pizzas, fresh breads, produce and other items – supplement nonperishable canned and boxed goods from food drives and produce from the Cupboard gardens.
Food recovery items round out the selection of items available for Cupboard clients, sometimes providing items that could be out of clients’ budgets at grocery stores.
