From Waste to Wellness: How “We Don’t Waste” Brings Recovered Food to Our Communities

What happens to perfectly good food that would otherwise go to waste? In this episode, we’re joined by Caroline from We Don’t Waste, an organization transforming surplus food into meaningful community nourishment across Colorado.

Caroline shares how We Don’t Waste recovers food from retailers, producers, and partners—and redistributes it through mobile food markets, community organizations, and food access programs. Learn how families in the Denver metro area can find mobile markets, and explore additional food recovery and pantry resources available outside the metro region.

This episode is a must‑listen for families, caregivers, and community partners looking to connect with food resources and support sustainable solutions to hunger.
