Instead of the perfectly-fine “expired” food going to the dumpster, feed people. Help the community.

    I worked at a grocery store as a supervisor for a few years and 80% of food was thrown away rather than donated. They still donated a fair bit of food to the local food bank weekly, but the vast majority just got thrown out. Anecdotal obviously.

      I imagine it depends from store to store. But if anything that’s probably why we should have some kind of requirement and fines for not donating rather than an incentive to donate.
