Kim wrote: There are programs operated by local food banks that will pick up leftover food from events like this, from restaurants, from food trade shows, etc. And take them directly to a homeless shelter that provides meal service. If you contact them in advance, they will be there as soon as the events concludes so the food stays fresh.
