The funds will be used to support several keys areas of the organization’s work, including: increasing the availability of the most-requested foods like fresh produce, protein and dairy; expanding MealConnect, the organization’s national food-sourcing and sharing platform; helping the network of food banks and food pantries develop plans for sourcing sustainable local products; subsidizing freight for donated food; and expanding the ability to rescue food donations from local grocery stores.
