Rescues food to feed NYC neighbors, volunteers pack produce
"This New York City food-rescue organization redirects surplus, high-quality food to people in need and has felt fuel-price impacts in its distribution costs: the cost per pound transported rose from $0.18 to $0.21, and average freight costs are up about 20%. Because it rescues and delivers nearly 300,000 pounds of food daily, those increases add up quickly; the organization has also seen vendors donate less produce overall as rising operational costs squeeze suppliers." - Amy McCarthy
"A New York food-rescue operation whose volunteers worked long shifts to process an unprecedented influx of donations from restaurants and institutions, collecting on the order of tens of thousands of pounds (roughly 36,000 to nearly 40,000 pounds in a short span) from nearly 50 restaurants alone—more than triple the typical weekly restaurant donations—and rapidly distributing produce, prepared foods, meat, dairy, and nonperishables to partner sites." - Brenna Houck
