Grantee HighlightFood Waste Prevention & Recovery Grants
Tri-Valley Haven supports survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, homelessness and poverty, with a focus on Dublin, Pleasanton, Livermore. With a Food Waste & Recovery grant from StopWaste, the nonprofit has not only dramatically increased the amount of fresh, healthy, and nutritious food their food pantry distributes, but also switched to a “client choice model,” empowering pantry visitors to select those items that best suit their lifestyle, traditions, and health needs.
Grantee HighlightReusable Transport Packaging Equipment Grants
Full Belly Farm delivers vegetables, fruit, nuts and flowers to restaurants, farmer’s markets and members through host drop sites around the Bay Area and Sacramento. With a Reusable Transport Packaging grant from StopWaste, Full Belly purchased reusable plastic totes to replace the waxed cardboard boxes they had been using for produce delivery. This change is saving the farm $14,161 per year in avoided waxed cardboard box purchases and has resulted in a 36 ton reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
