Waste less, feed more! We’re strengthening communities and creating a future where everyone has access to fresh, healthy produce. Visit foodforward.org to join the movement! How We Do It We collect fresh fruits and vegetables that would normally go to waste from backyard fruit trees, public orchards, farmers markets, and the downtown Los Angeles Wholesale Produce Market. 100% of the produce we recover is donated to hunger relief agencies across 13 California counties, 7 adjacent states, and tribal lands. MISSION & VALUES FOOD RECOVERY PROGRAMS Why We Do It According to the NRDC, up to 40% of food in the United States is wasted. At the same time, one 5 California households lack adequate access to food. Food Forward presents a simple solution to this disparity by connecting surplus fresh fruits and vegetables with people experiencing food insecurity in our communities.

Kudos to Food Forward Inc. and thanks for mentioning MEND! Their partnership providing fresh and healthy food to our Community Nourishment Programs makes a huge difference in the lives of thousands of individuals and families in the San Fernando Valley who struggle to make ends meet. The bountiful fruits and veggies they share with us provides not only excellent nutrition but moreover dignity to people who might not otherwise have access. #peoplehelpingpeople #MEND #partnershipsarekey.

It's #NationalFoodBankDay and we want to recognize the staff and the volunteers who work tirelessly to to serve their communities by addressing food access and insecurity challenges. We would like to recognize our partners at Feeding America and their incredible network of food banks including Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County whose volunteers are featured in this video during the food rescue effort following the Global Produce & Floral Show in Anaheim. Last year, this team along with partner Food Forward Inc., collected and distributed over 221,000 lbs of produce for the local communities (plus 6,000lbs of floral!). We look forward to continuing our partnership with Feeding America's network in Atlanta next month at #GPFS2024.

As part of #HungerActionMonth, we are highlighting a handful of our 2024 UNFI Foundation grantees committed to our shared goal of improving access to quality food. One of those is Food Forward, a non-profit organization that distributes surplus fresh fruits and vegetables free of charge to hundreds of hunger relief organizations across Southern California and beyond. Hear from Jen Cox, Chief Development Officer at Food Forward Inc., as she explains how support from the UNFI Foundation is enabling Food Forward to reach its highest goal ever.

At home or at the office? With remote work shifting across sectors, where to work has been a topic of controversy. Some studies claim working in the office helps employees focus better and promotes teamwork whereas others suggest working from home is more efficient and provides a more flexible work environment. #WorkFromHomeForWellnessDay #wfh #FoodForward #foodwaste #zerowaste #community #volunteer #donate #nonprofit #communityengagement #foodjustice #dogood #makeadifference #foodrecovery #donation #instagood #bethechange #kindness #joyfulness #giving #foodinsecurity #produce #communityfirst #helpothers #losangeles #california #equality #sustainability
