Hello, We are very proud to share another petition to stop food waste and fight food insecurity we fully support. Please read and sign this petition HERE. We have made great progress by having two senators introducing "The Food Donation Improvement Act" to congress. We are aiming to a federal improvement in the Emerson Act, which protects food doors from Liability. We are asking support for:

1. Direct USDA to clarify key terms and conditions within the Emerson Act to raise awareness and reduce fear of retribution.

2. Broaden protections to include more types of food donations, including items sold at low cost and donations offered from food businesses directly to end recipients.

3. Expand the federal enhanced tax deduction for food donation. We need you and your voice to help us spread the word.

Please sign the petition and also use this Call Tool to call your local officials and ask them to support the Food Donation Improvement Act.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPORT - Together WE CAN!!!
