In one of the top food-insecure counties in the country, a successful food recovery program is feeding the hungry and reducing food waste.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, roughly 10% of Americans lived in food-insecure households in 2021.
The food recovery program started six years ago. The people behind it, like Emogene Nelson, say they are passionate about feeding the hungry. "In fact, we were contacted by the state to actually give input on how that state law should be structured," Berghold said. From food pick up to food drop off a couple hours later, Fresno Metro Ministry gets to witness the impact this food is having on people in the community on a daily basis. Martin Rodriguez Jr., who works at an advocacy organization called Centro La Familia, says families are super thankful for the food recovery program.
