So what is the EP Food Rescue Program?
In 2014, we started working with a food distributor who would donate a certain amount of their product that was either close to expiration or wasn’t doing well. We would then take the product and REPURPOSE it by pairing it with one of the meals that we SHARE with people in need.
In 2017, we teamed up with several restaranteurs in Rhode Island and Massachusetts to include a bakery, grocery store, gourmet pizza, Indian-themed retaurant, bagel shop, doughnut shop, national steakhouse and a Mexican-themed burrito house.
We designed a plan that works for them and us. Which includes regular scheduled pickups of product that meets the criteria stated above…we find it new homes amongst people who are suffering from food scarcity. Our delivery model ranges from direct delivery to mass feedings utilizing outdoor grills, crockpots, and brown bag lunches. And we are only at the first rung of the ladder. We plan to involve every school in three states to participate as entire BODIES OF GIVING.
