Goals\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

To help Maine businesses, organizations, and individuals understand WHY and HOW to donate food instead of throwing it away.<\/p>\n

Methodology\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. With so much untapped food donation potential in Maine grocery store chains, we originally wanted to work with them to increase food donations throughout the state.<\/li>\n
  2. However, there was a lot of reluctance on their end, as they feared running into legal or financial issues along the way.<\/li>\n
  3. These misconceptions made us realize that we had to create a tool that would enable food donors to be able to easily donate food and see the rationale for why (tax deduction and legal aid).<\/li>\n
  4. To do this, our student intern worked with both the state of Maine and Harvard Food Law and Policy. We also worked with Good Shepherd and used a little bit of their food donation model in our toolkit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Results\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    After compiling all of our food donation information, these resources were packaged into the toolkit that we have available on our website (see below).<\/p>\n
