Food Runners Donors
Have you ever wondered what happened to the excess
molasses glazed cocktail ribs at the last gala or catered event
you attended? Companies like Melon's Catering, McCall's Catering, Fork & Spoon and Taste Catering and many more call Food Runners. Paula Le Duc
Fine Catering called Food Runners following the San Francisco
premier of Pixar's "Ratatouille." Food Runners picked up over
five hundred mouth watering Croques de Monsieur sandwiches that
would have otherwise gone in the garbage.
What do you suppose grocery stores do with bananas that develop
too many freckles, or crisp, juicy apples that get a bruise
from sitting at the bottom of the display? Stores like Whole
Foods and Trader Joe's call Food Runners.
Were you in the office the day that lunch meeting for forty
got cancelled after the gourmet Indian buffet had already been
delivered? When it happened at Calvary Asset Management, they
called Food Runners.
All over greater San Francisco, businesses that care about alleviating
waste and ending hunger are calling Food Runners. Food Runners
volunteers happily pick up their excess perishable and prepared
foods and deliver it immediately to local shelters and food
programs in need.
Corporate cafeterias like the one at Zynga, Google and Twitter do it. Photography studios like Michael Lamotte or Marshall Gordon do it. Bakeries like Kara's Cupcakes and SusieCakes do it. Restaurants like Kokkari, COCO500 and Piperade do it by joining Food Runners Planned Overage Program in which a restaurant prepares a main course for 25-30 people each week specifically for Food Runners to deliver to a shelter.
