There’s so much work to be done in this space; while up to 40% of food in the United States is wasted, 1 out of 7 people and 1 out of 5 children are food insecure in Los Angeles County. Our organization is growing quickly in an effort to recover as much surplus food as we can and divert it to shelters, kitchens, and groups that feed people experiencing homelessness and others in need.   With many food-based businesses unsure of how to best handle their excess supply, and receiving agencies in desperate need of resources, the Outreach and Partner Manager will be a crucial component of our organization’s success.
