We don’t have a food shortage, we have a distribution shortage. Rather than passing our surplus food around the table, we're throwing it in the trash. Rewarding #fooddonation, as an alternative to landfilling, is the first line of defense against rampant #foodwaste. In Rhode Island, where #foodinsecurity is high, #taxincentives would be a useful tool to help divert more of that surplus food to families in need. 🍪🤖 https://lnkd.in/ek44VCYy Thanks to ReFED and the Rhode Island Food Policy Council.

The level of food insecurity in New York City has increased significantly since the beginning of the pandemic. According to an analysis by Feeding America, the number of New York City residents struggling with food insecurity has risen by 36% overall and by 46% among children. We are grateful to our grantee partner City Harvest for responding to the crisis. They have rescued more than 1 billion pounds of nutritious food that would otherwise go to waste—working with restaurants, wholesalers, grocery stores, farms, and other partners— to distribute that food to individuals and families in need.
