Description
Feeding San Diego helps nourish hungry families across San Diego County, but did you know the non-profit organization also feeds cattle, pigs and sheep and more. In this Zevely Zone, I followed discarded food from San Diego to the Sage Mountain Farm in Anza. Feeding San Diego is celebrating the season of giving with their Give Hope, Share Joy campaign.
Earlier this month, my co-workers and I volunteered to help sort cucumbers. The vegetables went to families in need, but you may be wondering what happens to the rotten ones. They have a story too. Most of the produce at Feeding San Diego is fresh and feeds thousands of hungry households but the rejects become part of the non-profit's zero waste program.
