No business plans to end up with food they cannot sell, but surplus food will always occur through fluctuations in supply and demand, incorrect packaging or food nearing its expiration date. Manufacturers, growers and packers already donating their surplus stock say it’s something their employees can really get behind. They love to see the social good it generates and how it helps them achieve their ESG goals.
