Food scarcity and #wastefullness is something that honestly stresses me out. If you've worked in events, you know you'd never want to experience your attendees having a shortage of access to food and you may also notice that at the conclusion of the event, there's usually a lot of food left over. 🗑️   🤔Why doesn’t it get donated? The reasons I’ve heard in the past were due to foodborne illness and contamination - if you can't properly store the food until it's consumed, you could get the same person you are trying to help seriously sick.   💡Well, if we can make robots that create art and self-driving cars, I assure you, we can handle this setback. Feeding It Forward located in Napa County rescue perishable food from large events like BottleRock Napa Valley, coordinate, and deliver it to organizations fighting hunger in our community. They also allow each organization to select what they want and know they will use, to further cut down on the waste. ♻️ I'd love to see this be more commonplace. Less waste. More love to the local community in need. #foodrecovery #localcommunity #giveback #dmc

Do You Ever Think About What Happens to Leftover Food After Events? 🍽️ It's a question that often doesn't cross our minds. At ETHOS Event Collective, it's something that matters deeply to us, especially when we consider the pressing issue of food insecurity in our communities. Did you know that California Senate Bill 1383, which recently expanded on Jan. 1, now requires more businesses and events to donate excess food to food recovery organizations? This is a significant step forward in addressing food insecurity and ensuring that surplus food serves a meaningful purpose. As a destination management company rooted in California, we wholeheartedly support this initiative. We believe that redirecting surplus food to those in need not only reduces waste but also contributes to alleviating hunger and supporting food security initiatives in our local communities. What are your thoughts on this new law? Do you see it as a solution to the problem of food waste and food insecurity? We'd love to hear your insights and ideas on how businesses and events can further support food recovery efforts and make a positive impact in our communities.
