Food Waste Awareness Week will conclude with FREE family-friendly events across the state on April 15th!
Brewers across the state are partnering with local bakeries to take their unsold bread and turn it into a delicious limited release brew to raise awareness about the problem of food waste and the many solutions and resources available. This event aims to inform local citizens about the importance of reducing food waste, increasing food recovery, and provide local resources available to combat food waste and food insecurity in their homes and communities.
Each event will include the special beer, food, kid-friendly activities, a statewide food drive, and local resources!
