The Manna Food Center is among the members of the Edible Food Recovery Working Group and is currently administering the countywide Community Food Rescue network of food donors and food assistance providers that connect edible food donations to people who need it.
“As members of the Edible Food Recovery Working Group, we are proud to partner with Montgomery County in strengthening County-wide solutions to preventing food waste,” said Jenna Umbriac, Manna Food Center’s director of programs and policy. “Through Community Food Rescue, Manna Food Center is working with nearly 200 farmers, food service industry members and nonprofit organizations in a coordinated food recovery system to keep safe, nutritious, surplus food from being thrown away and instead sharing it with County residents.”
