Resources and Law around donated food
|
Thinking about what you can do with still edible leftover food? Don't throw it out!
There are a number of organizations in central Vermont that can take your produce or pre-consumer (untouched, prepared, but not yet served) foods and provide them to hungry members of the community! Please contact below organizations beforehand. See bottom of page for more resources. When donating food, it is important to remember that the donation is for human consumption and needs to be handled accordingly. If food looks or smells bad, is moldy, or has damaged packaging do not donate it – compost it! |
|
Most types of food can be donated. There has NEVER been a lawsuit around food donations.
