Impact Team Member at The Farmlink Project - Los Angeles, California, United States
The Farmlink Project is a grassroots movement striving to prevent food waste during the COVID-19 pandemic. While food banks are facing an unprecedented increase in demand, millions of pounds of produce are being dumped or wasted as commercial farms around the country struggle to adapt to cancelled orders. Our project connects such farms with under-stocked and understaffed food banks. 100% of donations towards FarmLink are used to pay the wages of farm workers and truckers, thereby keeping employees staffed, preventing fresh produce from ending up in dumps, and putting food onto the tables of those who need it most.
