FDN provides fresh food to the programs listed at the following link: https://friendshipdonations.org/programs/Friendship Donations Network is a food rescue organization located in Ithaca, NY. Our mission is to rescue fresh, nutritious food that would otherwise be thrown away from stores and farms and redistribute it to neighbors facing food insecurity throughout Tompkins County and beyond. We provide food donations to over 50 community programs, including meal programs, food pantries, low-income housing communities, community organizations, and grassroots distribution. Each week 2,000 people are served, and nearly 1,400 pounds of good food is diverted each day from the landfill. A network of 200 volunteers and one part-time employee accomplish those goals with the food donations from local supermarkets, bakeries, dining halls, farmers and food processors. Since its start in 1988, FDN has served a vital role in providing healthy food to people facing food insecurity, while helping our community reduce the amount of useable food being thrown away. Please let us know if you know of a community program that would like to help distribute food, or if you know of a local business that could be added to our list of food donors.
