FOODSHARE INFORMATION
FoodShare is a perishable food recovery program which collects and distributes food that would otherwise end up in landfills. The FoodShare truck runs seven days a week, collecting donations from our generous local supporters. The food is then distributed not only to Food Bank clients, but also to over 25 schools and agencies in Kamloops and surrounding areas. In the last three years two million pounds of fruits, vegetables, bakery, dairy and meat items were recovered through FoodShare. Any produce that we are unable to distribute through FoodShare is given to local farmers to use as feed and compost instead of being thrown out in our landfills. Not only is FoodShare helping to feed the hungry in our community, it is also contributing to a better environment by reducing waste. FoodShare would not be possible without our generous local FoodShare supporters.
