Thank you Ryan with Tyson for putting good food to food use. Waste Not Florida rescued 800 pounds of bacon, ham & veggies frittatas off of his truck yesterday. There was nothing wrong with the food, but the store had ordered corndogs not frittatas. Because Ryan made the effort to find us and took the time to bring his truck to us, and Waste Not Florida volunteers showed up for this “serendipitous opportunity”, these 1,800 protein-rich meals will end up in bellies not landfills.
