As we’re working to meet an immediate need for fresh, wholesome food, we’re also committed to collaborating with others (like community members, business leaders, and elected officials) to raise awareness of and support for longterm solutions that address wasted food, food insecurity, and the climate emergency.
Each year, we identify a handful of key actions around which we work to mobilize others. Collectively, these are known as our “Advocacy Priorities.” Some of them align directly and in obvious ways with the work we do every day, and others more broadly pave the way for a more just and sustainable food system and a healthy planet. Keep scrolling to read them (and click the “+” button to learn about each).
Spoonfuls participates in many coalitions working on issues like food waste reduction, hunger, and climate. Below are just a few of them.
Take action
Complete Spoonfuls’ pledge and commit to reducing your wasted food footprint! After finishing the pledge, we’ll send you our Personal Wasted Food Audit tool to help you identify additional areas where you can make a change to waste less, and our Advocacy Toolkit with additional resources. You can check out our blogs below, too.
Spoonfuls works with our Community Advisory Board to learn about challenges and opportunities related to food access in different parts of our service area.
