Waste to Taste - Feeding Lane County

An excellent article about a food charity called Waste to Taste, in Eugene, Oregon (about 25 minutes from where we live) that collects and redistributes food "waste" to those in need. 

According to the article, "Nearly 46,000 tons, or 31% of Lane County’s total solid landfill waste, is made up of food waste, according to reporting done by the Register Guard this year. Jesselyn Perkins, project coordinator for the Waste to Taste program, says that Waste to Taste receives tens of thousands of pounds of recycled food."

It's uplifting to hear of a volunteer-run program that is making such a positive difference in the community.
