Promoting Food Security is a key component of our activities within the community as we work to encourage our client base to explore and expand their options for ensuring there is enough food on the table.

The Interfaith Food Recovery Program is intended to promote sustainable food consumption practice. Repurposing and preserving food can greatly increase food security.

The Food Recovery Program is currently being developed with a focus on reducing food waste and reclaiming surplus food items into useful, more appealing products.

The program will find new sustainable uses for excess food such as canning fruits into jams and jellies, pickling vegetables, salsas, do-it-yourself baking kits, pre-made baking products, among many other creative uses.
