Food Donor Meeting
Food Donor Meeting
May 24th 14:00 – 16:00
Location: Kuramaebashi
What are the alternatives to dumping food that is still edible but can no longer be sold in the market? Until recently, the alternatives were rather limited. But more and more companies are learning what food banking can do for their bottom line and more.
Food banking began in the US in the 1960’s to give companies an alternative to dumping product that was still safe for human consumption. Currently, nearly every single food manufacturer, distributor, and importer in the US participates in food banking on some level.
Now entering its sixth year of incorporation, Second Harvest Japan is reaching out to food companies to take the next step in developing food banking in Japan.
The meeting will cover the following points:
1. Benefits to your bottom line
2. Safety and food handling issues
3. Protection of your brand
4. Testimonials from our current donors
