A Look at Food Recovery - Partnerships that Produce Results
August 16, 2023

The Edible Food Recovery TC is excited to host a tour that will walk guests through an example of edible food recovery programs happening in the Bay Area. Starting with a surplus edible food generator, Daylight Foods, you will experience how this food distributor is prioritizing the safe donation of surplus food. 

Then Daily Bowl, Daylight Foods donation partner, will walk guests through one of their vehicles to demonstrate the process of collecting and distributing food and discuss the opportunities and daily challenges of food recovery agencies. 

The tour will finish at a Second Harvest food distribution location at the Samaritan House, that will show guests how recovered food is delivered to their final recipients, describe their partnerships and other services the non-profit delivers to its community. 

Additionally, guest speakers will present during drive-time to discuss reporting of food recovery, where TC Executive Members will be on-hand to field questions about food recovery networks and SB 1383 compliance.
