Reclaimed Food
The Problem
The production, transportation, and distribution of food generates significant Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions.

How FJDMV is helping
We seek out sources of free or reduced cost food that would otherwise go to waste. Through partnerships with supermarkets, restaurants, and other food sellers and distributors, we pick up and deliver thousands of pounds of good nutritious food every week.
Our Partners
Every Saturday we pick up a car full of freshly baked, yummy bread from Lyon Bakery and deliver it to our Community Leaders to distribute with our Dough to Door program.
Food Rescue USA periodically provides us with excess fresh food from grocers, restaurants, and other sources.
Plus One gives us freshly baked bread from Lyon Bakery and produce from farmer's markets and farms every week
