Daily Table model?
http://dailytable.org/
Daily Table model?
Simply put: Use one challenge to help tackle another challenge. Use
the excess, available food from growers, manufacturers and supermarkets
to provide affordable, healthy food for the food insecure. Daily Table
is a new kind of retail grocery store that will offer fresh produce and
grocery items as well as ready-to-cook and grab-n-go prepared meals at
truly affordable prices. Our healthy meal options will be priced to
compete with the fast-food alternatives in the neighborhood. We’ll be
doing all of this by recovering food from supermarkets, growers and food
distributors that would otherwise have been wasted. Hunger & Wasted
Food are two problems that can have one solution.
