Additional Application Information

Kayla from Open Cupboard in Oakdale used a Food Recovery Grant to rescue more food from their partners with more equipment and drivers. They rescue about 45,000 pounds of edible food every week to stock their indoor market which allows anyone who needs food to get about 15- 20 pounds of food per visit to stretch their food budget for free.
