Throughout Vermont, food donation has increased more than 40% since the implementation of the Universal Recycling and Composting Law, but there are still many opportunities to become involved in helping fight food insecurity in your community.
Do you know what can and cannot be donated? Did you know that food donations to 501c3 organizations are tax deductible, and protected from liability under the good Samaritan law?
The NEK Food Cycle Coalition and NEWMOA are collaborating to create an exciting workshop for food producers, farmers, distributors, retailers, schools, food pantries, meal sites, and anyone interested in food recovery and donation to:
-Find out what can and cannot be donated,
-Learn about liability protections and tax deductions,
-Network with others working to increase food rescue and find solutions to food insecurity,
-And hear success stories and ideas for new opportunities or collaborations.
We will be screening portions of Anthony Bourdain's film "Wasted! The Story of Food Waste", and will feature, among others, representatives from the EPA, VT Food Bank, and Salvation Farms to provide an informal yet informational opportunity to network and increase your understanding of local food recovery systems in Northern VT.
For more information, contact Shannon at 802-626-3532. RSVP encouraged, walk-ins welcome.
