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

Susan,

Check out Second Harvest at http://www.secondharvest.org/.  This is a 
national network of food reuse programs.

Also, many cities now have Food Recycling directories.  An excellent 
example entitled "Food for Thought" from the City of Los Angeles can be 
obtained from 213-473-8228 or <SRCRD@no.address>.
