We were so excited to welcome a new van to the fleet (of 2) vans being used by Keep Austin Fed to rescue food. Businesses like Trader Joe’s, restaurants and caterers let Keep Austin Fed know when they have surplus food that’s about to go to waste, and Keep Austin Fed uses its network of volunteers (and vans like Fran Jr.!) to collect the food and get it to community partners. In April 2024 alone, Keep Austin Fed rescued 99,662 pounds of food, which is equivalent to 83,108 meals! That’s amazing! We were so happy to pitch in for this van that will help nourish our neighbors.
