Damiano Center in Duluth, Minnesota
December 15, 2007

Do you know that one-quarter of our food—or about 180 pounds per person per year—ends up in landfills? The Damiano Center in Duluth, Minnesota is turning that stunning statistic on its ear.

Whether you call it food salvaging, food rescue, food recovery or gleaning the folks at Damiano are part of a growing community of individuals who work together from day to day to make sure that perfectly good food ends up on the table and not in a trash heap. They turn what is tossed by stores, restaurants and farmers into good eating for hundreds every day at a cost of 32 cents per meal. For more about the Center and their inspiring story log on to www.damianocenter.org.
