John DeGrazia hasn't added a story.
Princeton is a liberal and forward looking town in Central New Jersey, and has invested heavily in public housing, including housing for the elderly and disabled; however, the complexity and never-ending need for food on a daily basis by the groups served by this housing offering is not easily met. Local supermarket food is very expensive (there is only one supermarket within a mile's distance), even though large amounts of good food are thrown in the trash, every day, due to the expiration dating system in use.
Gleaning this usable and nutritious food, if that is allowed, is a labor-intensive and time-consuming task. I have been doing the job for some months, now, and have built a cart that will make the pick-ups speedy and easy.
When it is completed, I will be able to formalize many of the food-sources, since we have several campus kitchens within our municipal boundaries, and given support we can supply pick-up bags, post times and pick-schedules.
If you want to try a new and novel approach to curtailing food waste and getting food to the neediest groups, join with me, here. I will use the money you donate to build a refrigerated system, printed collection bags, and to pay computer help.
