How LA Nonprofit Food Forward Saves Produce From the Landfill to Feed People in Need | Eater

"A refrigerated produce storage and staging facility in southeastern Los Angeles that stores bulk recoveries of fresh fruits and vegetables and prepares them for rapid transport to hunger-relief programs. Serving as a cold-chain hub, it enables the nonprofit network to preserve perishable items collected from growers and wholesalers, coordinate pallet- and truckload-sized shipments, and dispatch consistent, high-grade deliveries to partner organizations throughout the region and beyond—an essential logistics node that helped scale emergency food responses during the pandemic." - Lindsey Margaret Allen
