Description

Reach out to your favorite restaurant, and ask them what they do with their extra food. Do they give it to staff members to take home? Do they donate it to a nearby nonprofit organization? Do they compost it? Do they throw it away? Encourage them to sign up for MEANS Database and donate their extra food if they do not already.
