With financial backing from CalRecycle, a group of students and volunteers is rescuing fresh, healthy food for quick delivery to communities in the Fresno area.

Keith Bergthold and his team at the Fresno Metro Ministry are starting the Food to Share network, which addresses hunger by gathering healthy food that would have otherwise gone to the landfill and instead delivering it to needy communities. The ministry is teaming up with Colony Energy Partners, which is building an anaerobic digester to recycle food waste into clean energy in nearby Tulare County. The joint anaerobic digester and food distribution project was awarded $2.9 million through CalRecycle’s competitive Organics Grant Program.
