Aloha Harvest is excellent; I had a canceled flight, and Nela drove down and picked it up within 30 minutes to repurpose it.
This is a prime example of the benefits of guest speakers at our weekly club meetings. I would have never known about this program if we didn't have Phil Acosta, the Executive Director of Aloha Harvest, as a guest speaker. We learned about unused food and the ability to feed those in need, food with a slightly lower quality being able to feed farm animals, and the lowest quality of food being able to be composted. All three of these options keep food out of our landfills, prolonging their lifespan, especially in Hawaii with limited space.
If your workplace has leftover, consumable food, reach out to one of many non-profit organizations that can use it to feed those who need it. Many companies throw away clean, untouched food which goes unused and fills our landfills.
