Treasure Coast Food Bank spotlights its participation in the “Meals 4 Miles Meal Connect”: program, a new, volunteer-driven initiative utilizing user-friendly technology to enable more fresh food is being delivered quickly and safely to those in the community experiencing food insecurity.  In this episode, we sit down with representatives from Cumberland Farms to discuss how food banks and retailers are exploring new avenues in further reducing food waste and food insecurity.

Food banks have long coordinated efforts to reduce food waste, especially through their partnerships with the retail industry.  But new strategies have been developed and implemented.  This month’s podcast will discuss the various ways food banks from around the country are working to address food waste and also specific policy areas in which government, food banks and others can co-invest and collaborate on in the years ahead.
