GLEANING GOODNESS - Collect & Haul Away Excess Produce
Like… Wayne Moving & Storage

 

Did you know 40% off America's food supply ends up in landfills? Keeping edible produce out of the landfill and then moving it into the hands of those who need it is a simple way to improve our nation's food crisis. The process of gathering excess food from farms is called gleaning and Wayne Moving & Storage did exactly that this fall.

Wayne Moving & Storage gathered co-workers, friend and family at a local farm and collected over 1,300 pounds of apples.  Read their story here.

DON'T LET IT GO TO WASTE - Haul Away Leftovers from Events
Like… Gentle Giant Moving Company of Brooklyn


 

If you've ever cheered on a family member or participated in a race of any kind, you probably noticed the massive amount of post-race snacks provided by the event organizers at the finish line. But what happens to all those leftover bananas? They usually get thrown out.

The guys at Gentle Gentle Moving Company of Brooklyn came up with a solution. For the New York City triathlon, they rolled into Central Park and loaded up all the excess food, providing over 2,900 pounds of food. The timing was ideal, as children that receive free and reduced lunch during the school year are particularly vulnerable to food insecurity during the summer months. Read the full story here.
