💚 Local collaboration, lasting impact! Waste-Free Ventura County and its partners have rescued 1.5 million pounds of edible food since 2022—reducing waste and helping feed our communities.

1.5 million pounds of edible food rescued and donated since 2022. 💚
Behind this milestone is a community working together to make food recovery happen.
Through its partnership with Careit, Waste-Free Ventura County connects restaurants, hotels, hospitals, and other food businesses with local food pantries across ten municipal jurisdictions.
With real-time donation matching and automated donation tracking, technology helps make food recovery more efficient, measurable, and accessible.
And the impact continues to grow.
WFVC is now looking to engage more businesses in food rescue efforts and develop a local recognition program in partnership with the California Green Business Network.
Because reducing food waste isn’t just about keeping food out of landfills. It’s about getting good food to the people who need it.
Proud to be part of this impact!

🌧️ Do you know how to properly use sandbags?

Sandbags can help redirect water away from doorways, garages, and other vulnerable areas when placed correctly. Knowing where and how to use them before a storm arrives can make a difference.

Don't wait until the rain starts to figure out what you need!
