Orange Park United Methodist Food Pantry every Monday gives out food to 70-80 families feeding 1200 people monthly. Waste Not Want Not Food bank is critical to our success .Every Monday they provide us with a cargo van of rescued food- bread, pastry, produce , dairy items and meat. We then pass that on later in the afternoon to those in need. They are open every week and the volunteers & managers are very helpful and dedicated to their mission. WNWN is a blessing to our pantry and to the communityRay White, OPUMC pantry manager.
Bread of Life is a soup kitchen located in Palatka Florida. We serve a lot lunch 7 days a week. The food we receive from Waste Nor Want Not greatly helps us to do so. We serve over 19,000 meals a year. The food we receive from then plays a very vital role in helping us to do so. Drinks, bread, cake, meats, seafood, soup - the list is endless.
The results of the redistribution efforts by Waste Not Want Not are absolutely amazing. Two million pounds of good food that would have ended up in our over-used disposal facilities have been provided to non-profit agencies that feed the poor and needy. Most of Waste Not Want Not's effort is sustained by volunteers as directed by Sandra, an outstanding Executive Director.
