SAN FRANCISCO -- A San Francisco organization has worked to reduce waste and feed those in need for the past 35 years with help from a mobile team of volunteers.
In the United States, 40 percent of the food produced in the country gets discarded, adding up to 108 billion pounds of edible food each year.to not only solve the problem of food waste, but to also feed the hungry, which was an issue even three decades ago in San Francisco. Dave Gallaher loved the idea and decided to use his time not only exercise his body, but exercise the art of giving back. Two to three times a week, the retired Gallaher takes his e-bike with trailer in tow and makes food pickups and deliveries for Food Runners.
But on some days, he can barely fit the delivery in his modified trailer. One photo he shared showed the food was stacked five-feet high of fruits, vegetable and other perishable goods. Currently, pick-ups of fresh groceries get delivered directly to the Food Runner's pantry kitchen on Waller Street in the Lower Haight neighborhood.
Those pre-made meals get delivered to the dozens of shelters across San Francisco, including the North Beach Citizens who use Food Runners meals to supplement their own food pantry donations.
