In the United States 40% of all edible food goes to waste, costing more than $165 billion each year.
We believe that food is simply too good to waste. However, in the United States, we waste over 40% of all food produced. Half of that waste consists of fresh produce that has cosmetic imperfections or lacks commercial demand.
Crescent Food Bank try to works directly with farmers and wholesale companies to rescue surplus or cosmetically imperfect produce that might otherwise go to waste. All food donations are gathered at our kitchen, where students, staff and volunteers sort, glean, and clean produce to use it to make healthy meals for social services agencies across Southern California.
