❔❔Did You Know....❔❔ Our donations are made possible because of the food rescue programs larger organizations like Midwest Food Bank manage so that we can feed our community. 🌿 Donated items come in the form of: Close-dated items: Products that are close to their expiration date and don't have enough time to reach store shelves. Overruns: Extra products made beyond what was forecasted, often cheaper to keep the production line running. Mislabeled items: Products with packaging errors, like missing ingredients or allergen information. Relabeling is too costly, but we have the volunteer resources to repack and relabel these items. Damaged or discontinued goods: Items with damaged packaging or products that are no longer sold in stores. -Midwest Food Bank: How Midwest Food Bank and Our Partners Fight Food Waste Together You can donate too!

We’re raising $100,000 for a refrigerated truck because it will make a HUGE difference in how we serve our community. Donate here: https://lnkd.in/ekqW2wPn Here’s how: 🌱 Fresh food for everyone We’ll be able to bring more produce, dairy, and meat to families—nutritious food that's highly perishable and unaffordable for so many. 📦 Bigger loads, fewer trips This truck can fit 7 pallets of food in one trip, which means less running back and forth and more time helping our neighbors 💪 Less heavy lifting Goodbye to hand-loading boxes one by one! With the truck, we’ll load full pallets, making things easier for our amazing volunteers. 🚗 Fewer personal vehicles With this truck, we’ll rely less on volunteer vehicles, streamlining deliveries and reducing wear and tear on personal cars. ❄️ Cold storage on the go Keeping food fresh is everything. This truck will help us accept more (and larger!) donations while ensuring every item is safe and ready to distribute. Your support fuels all of this. Every dollar takes us closer to making fresh, nutritious food available to every family who needs it.
