Happy Earth Day! 🌎

Our Retail Rescue program helps reduce food waste by partnering with agencies to pick up food from local retailers that can’t be sold or is nearing its sell-by date. That food is then distributed to our neighbors in need, keeping good food from going to waste and on the tables of families in our community.

Visit brfoodbank.org to donate and join us in reducing food waste!
