Food Waste >>
The United States wastes 40% of its food — it is either, discarded, lost or uneaten.
Food Insecurity in NJ >>
Over 1 million people are food insecure in New Jersey.
Here’s a great look at how our community partners come together to make sure EVERYONE, regardless of means, has healthy nutritious food to eat. LocalShare is grateful to be part of such an effort. Thank you, Montclair NewsLab, for this great report!
PBS39’s Karishma Desai covers the Foodshed Alliance’s LocalShare program.
