Don't let your citrus go to waste! When you need some juice, you can microwave a few cubes for 25–30 seconds or let them melt at room temperature. Or pop one in your drink of choice!

We love to see families volunteering together - thank you Kier & family! People's Inter-Cities Fellowship in Marin City loved the fresh food donated by Trader Joe's in San Rafael. Their food pantry serves 200+ low-income people/week with the food we source & deliver to them.

This fresh food delivery was for Hotel Essex in San Francisco, a permanent supportive housing building for extremely low income, chronically homeless individuals. We appreciate our Food Recovery Drivers for their hard work getting fresh food to people who need it most.

Peekaboo! All the food in volunteer Gena's very full car was donated by Grocery Outlet in Marin City and delivered to St. Andrews Presbyterian Church. Each Monday they distribute the food we donate to over 120 households that are experiencing food insecurity. Thank you team!

A simple way to fight food waste, one banana at a time! 🍌

We love getting prepared meals from Kaiser! The San Rafael Rotary appreciates getting these meals as it helps offset their food budgeting. Thank you Kaiser and volunteer Rena for ensuring our seniors have the nutritious food they need.
