Help Out Our Planet

Did You Know?

Food loss and waste in the U.S annually produces more greenhouse gas emissions than 42 coal-fired power plants, uses enough water and energy to supply more than 50 million homes, and requires an area of agricultural land equal to California and New York.*

By donating unused apples and pears, you are helping reduce food waste, which in turn will help reduce your carbon footprint!
