Do you have apple trees on your property producing in abundance? Food Rescue Del Norte, as part of the Community Food Council for Del Norte and Tribal Lands, is hosting a Community Cider Pressing on Saturday, October 24 and we're looking to glean apples next week to press. Staff and volunteers would come to your property and glean any fruit that you may not want or use. Interested in donating? All we need is your willingness to share; we'll bring the people and the tools to do the work. Send us a message or email Meredith Knowles at [email protected]. Interested in coming to our cider pressing? A link to sign up will be in the comments.

Waste Not Weekly runs today: 2-6pm at the Pacific Pantry. Since starting this new weekly project a few months ago, we've been so excited to see regular and new faces every week visiting our table to select all kinds of rescued food from our surrounding community. Check us out if you haven't yet!

Good morning Del Norte! Today is Waste Not Weekly, which means you'll find an extra table at the Pacific Pantry from 2-6pm with rescued food items. This food comes from community businesses and organizations that generously allow us to rescue any food they aren't able to sell or serve, but is still safe, delicious, and high quality. We want to start sharing our weekly menus and updates in Spanish, as well as English, which you can find below. Happy Thursday!

We've got apples! Can you use them? Thanks to the generosity of some of our local community members, Food Rescue Del Norte has been able to glean lots of apples to share. These would be great apples to press for cider, can, make into apple butter, or even dehydrate. ... Are you interested? These apples are free to take; take as much as you can use. Visit us today at the Waste Not Weekly table at the Pacific Pantry from 2-6pm today. You can even bring your own boxes, buckets, or other containers if you can use a large amount. If you can't make it today, send us a message and we'll coordinate a time for you to come pick up what you can use.

Waste Not Weekly goes today until 6pm at the Pacific Pantry!

Waste Not Weekly is going to look a little different today. The Pacific Pantry will be open and distributing pre-packed food bags from 2-6pm this afternoon. Patrons will be able to collect 1 extra food bag of pre-packed Waste Not Weekly items including milk and produce. This modified distribution is open to anyone who needs to use it.

We'll be serving up strawberries at this week's Waste Not Weekly! Waste Not Weekly is held every Thursday from 2-6pm at the Pacific Pantry. Unlike visiting the Pantry, you can visit the Waste Not Weekly every week (not limited to 1 time per month) and you are free to determine the amount of items you can best use.

Glean Team? More like Dream Team! We're so excited to announce that our gleaning team is up an running. Gleaning is the practice of collecting food leftover from harvests. Gleaned crops get donated to food pantries and shared with community members in need.... If you have gardens, fruit trees, berry shrubs, or other foods growing in more abundance that what you can use, we want to help clean and glean for you! The Glean Team can help harvest your excess crops and deliver them to emergency food distribution sites like the Pacific Pantry. Interested in becoming a volunteer gleaner? Get in touch! We're accessible on Facebook, email, online, or on the phone. We'd love you to get involved.

It's Waste Not Weekly today from 2-6pm during Pacific Pantry hours. (We are located at the back entrance of the Family Resource Center.) Waste Not Weekly items are rescued through Food Rescue Del Norte from local businesses, organizations, restaurants, grocery stores, and community members. This is an offering that is OPEN to the public. Please come select items that you and your household can use.... We have an abundance of milk from our local farm, Alexandre dairy. This milk cannot be sold, but is still perfectly healthy and delicious! Remember, a good rule of thumb is that milk is good for 10 days past the printed best by date. We are so grateful to our local partners for their support of this amazing program!

It's Waste Not Weekly today from 2-6pm. Remember, this distribution is open for anyone who can use this food. All of it has been rescued from local businesses, grocery stores, organizations, or gleaned from community members' gardens and trees. This week, we also have lots of half and half rescued from Alexandre Dairy. ... Please come down and gather what you and your family can use!

We've got wild plums! Can you use them? Thanks to the generosity of some of our local community members, Food Rescue Del Norte was able to glean lots of wild pl...ums today. These are very ripe and probably best suited for someone who can use them right away -- they're great for snacking and even better for canning or dehydrating. Are you interested? These plums are free to take; take as much as you can use. Send Food Rescue Del Norte a message on Facebook or email our Coordinator Meredith at [email protected] to arrange a pick-up tomorrow morning.
