Tips to Reduce Household Food Waste:
- Check Before You Shop: Look through your fridge and pantry and only buy what you need.
- Plan Your Meals: Save time, money, and food by planning meals in advance.
- Know Your Labels: Check date labels and learn the difference between “Use by”, “Best by”, and other labels.
- Get Creative with Leftovers: Use leftovers to inspire your next meal instead of letting them go to waste.
- Freeze extras: Preserve leftovers and perishable items by freezing them, so they’re ready when you need them.
It’s much more than that.
Saving Grace is helping to build awareness of the issues surrounding food insecurity and the impact of wasted food on our community and the environment.
- Wasted food is a drain on our economy, with uneaten and unsold food valued at $444 billion in 2021 – costing resources like land, water, fertilizer and money to grow, harvest, transport, cool, prepare and ultimately dispose of. (ReFED)
- Nebraska and Iowa alone generated 1.7 million tons of surplus food in 2021, with more than 40% of this coming from residential sources. (ReFED)
Everyone can be part of the solution
If there’s one thing we’ve learned in the past 10 years, it’s that everyone can be part of the solution. It takes a team to make the mission possible. From grocers to caterers and other businesses who regularly donate perishable food to nonprofit organizations who share that food with hungry neighbors, and generous people like you who donate to make it all possible, every partner plays an important role. Thank you!
