ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 The City of Orlando has partnered with the Society of Saint Andrew to provide families in need with fresh fruits and vegetables that would otherwise be discarded.<\/p>\n

This initiative aims to collect excess produce from farms, as grocery stores often turn away these items. Last year alone, Orlando recovered 50,000 pounds of food through this program.<\/p>\n

The partnership with the Society of Saint Andrew facilitates the gathering of surplus produce, assisting local farmers while also addressing food insecurity in the community. <\/p>\n

Through the use of trucks and supplies provided by the organization, the city of Orlando can redirect food that might otherwise be discarded.<\/p>\n
