Fred Meyer reports that every year more than 80 billion pounds of food go to waste in the US. Fred Meyer has a zero waste program, where they help reduce food waste by feedin the hungry and helping farmers. Annually Freddy's donates 200 million meals to local food banks. Another portion goes to farmers to feed livestock and to compost. Fred Meyer in their magazine invites us the homeowners to join by reducing food waste at our own homes. Check out FredMeyer.com for simple tips for preventing food waste.
Kroger has a long history of hiring folks from the special needs community granting them dignity and a place to use the skills they do have. We were in QFC the other day and noted that they have begun to hire folks with physical limitations. Both employees we noted had walking challenges one was in a wheel chair, yet he was doing his best with the company broom.
I know there are more companies out there doing good. City team is in Portland helping homeless folks feel and look good. Way to go City team.
