An estimated 40% of food grown in the US is wasted - never eaten!
The average family of four discards an estimated $1400 of food in a year.
To reduce food waste buy only what you need from small, local growers (reduce waste from transportation) and use it wisely.
Edible, recoverable food can be redistributed to emergency food pantries, meal centers and shelters.

HOW to help with food recovery in the Lehigh Valley
The Easton Food Recovery Group is a grassroots program recovering food in the Easton area since 2014.
It is part of the Lehigh Valley Food Policy Council's Food Recovery & Respect Working Committee. Volunteers pick up and transport retail donated food year round and distribute it to local emergency food centers such as pantries, free meals and shelters. Fresh farm produce that is donated from local farmers may be harvested and/or transported by the volunteers.
