Every Sunday night, I visit the local dumpsters (Trader Joes, Whole Foods, and Panera Bread) to collect the bread and fresh produce that has been disposed of. The very next day, after disinfecting the relevant items in a vinegar bath, I deliver them to the nearby food pantries. The picture on the left is what I would consider a typical haul. Sadly, I am limited in what I can fit in my car, and there is always way more that I have to leave behind that will be taken to the landfill. Meanwhile, close to 20% of Austinites experience food insecurity.
