a food rescue organization located in Ithaca, NY. Our

be thrown away from stores and farms and redistribute it to neighbors in
need throughout Tompkins County and beyond. We
provide food donations to community programs, including meal
programs, food pantries, low-income housing communities, and
grassroots distribution. A full list of our <span class="gmail-MsoHyperlink">program partners</span> is on our website at <span class="gmail-MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://friendshipdonations.org/" class="">friendshipdonations.org</a></span>. Each week 2,000
