Food Waste Matters
“Food banks help connect the dots between building sustainable food systems and addressing climate change. By recovering wholesome food from partners throughout the supply chain and redistributing it to communities facing hunger, food banks prevent that food from sitting in landfills and emitting greenhouse gas emissions.”
Compost: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
West Ohio Food Bank (WOFB) is in the process of acquiring funds that can be used to purchase an Intra Vessel Composting unit. This unit would provide the food bank with the ability to take food waste that is not salvageable and turn it into compost. WOFB would then share its compost created with organizations throughout the 11-County Service area who have community gardens that provide fresh produce back into the community.
