John S. Mulholland Family Foundation is proud to announce our partnership with Giant Food, Capital Area Food Bank, and Feeding America. Beginning this week, JSM will be part of the Retail Rescue Program with the Giant Food Brentwood, located just 5 minutes from the John S. Mulholland Food Pantry in Brookland.
Each week, we will pick up and distribute food items that have reached their “sell by” date and would otherwise be discarded. As we all know, there’s a big difference in sell by date and the true life of the product. This program allows us to receive these items and distribute them to folks in great need in an expedient fashion. Now serving 9 food pantries in Washington, JSM is able to distribute these items quickly, avoiding waste and ensuring that the food insecure of our community are able to enjoy them.
We are excited to be working with Robert Winter and his team at Giant Brentwood. #ittakesavillage
