She told some neighbors that perfectly good surplus food was being thrown away, so they rounded up some trucks and started picking it up. There was enough free food for everyone to share with families, friends, and neighbors, and Fair Foods was born. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1d89e0bff2007c8d1007f5/1606336023123-DYDYUBE6QEB72WZV4935/10496970_10152285748706927_3689300037096259358_o.png Home - Our Present With our network of trucks and volunteers we rescue as much as five million pounds of produce annually, distributing it to over eighty sites and organizations in Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire. No matter how much we grow, we will still remain community-operated, staffed by a network of hundreds of community volunteers including people like you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1d89e0bff2007c8d1007f5/1606333860676-WQH76WZOQGFNJEGT33EG/21-edited.png Home - our Vision OUR VISION SINCE 1988 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1d89e0bff2007c8d1007f5/1606325497426-S7LH7CP41AT4ECF12YE4/angel%252Btomato-edited.jpg Home - volunteer “My sibling introduced me.
