There is a food re-use organization in Long Beach called Food Finders. You 
can learn about them from their web site:  www.foodfinders.org.

        Subject:        [greenyes] Question about small quantity perishable food waste recovery 
programs



Hi, 
I am interested in learning about programs that help coordinate the 
recovery
of perishable food (e.g., overabundance of prepared food from restaurants,
social events, etc.) for use at homeless shelters, soup kitchens, and
anywhere else.  Does anyone know of such an organized program?  I will be
interested in learning about how they operate, and how transportation is
arranged, so any program and/or contact info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
