The NYS Food Donation and Food Scraps Law went into effect Jan. 1st. Are you in compliance?
If your organization produces more than 2 tons of excess food a week, as of JANUARY 1, 2022, you are obliged to:
Separate and donate edible food
Separate and recycle all remaining food scraps if within 25 miles of an organics recycler. Find your nearest recycler
Feeding New York State – in partnership with NYS DEC and Feeding America®– is here to help explain the new NYS law and make it easier for you to donate edible food and recycle food scraps. For help, call or email our Food Rescue Center.

Feeding NYS and NYS farmers have joined together in a major initiative to move perfectly good but unmarketable produce from fields to food banks.
Help us make it happen this year.
1.2 billion lbs of fine fresh food go to waste every year in NYS. Help us truck it to our food banks.
