OUR BUSINESS
THE NEED
THE WASTE
Food Donation Connection provides an alternative to discarding surplus wholesome food by linking food service donors with surplus food to local hunger relief agencies. We do this by creating and maintaining an efficient communication and reporting network that links available sources of food to those in need through these existing charitable organizations.
The LAX Harvest Food Donation Program is a shining example of how the Los Angeles International Airport community came together to make a tangible, positive difference in the lives of those around them.
FDC addressed the need for hunger relief in a Statement for the Record to the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Oversight Joint Hearing on Food Banks and Front-Line Charities: Unprecedented Demand and Unmet Need (November 19, 2009).
Americans throw away more than 25 percent of the food we prepare, about 96 billion pounds of food waste each year according to the US Department of Agriculture's Estimating and Addressing America's Food Losses PDF). See US EPA’s Basic Information about Food Waste Page.
