At no cost, Food Rescue provides one on one sessions or group conference calls to review our online educational resources to all who inquire. Often teachers, parents, cafeteria managers, or other school administrators are able to leverage their knowledge through geographically specific presentations to inspire those in their district or surrounding counties to adopt K-12 Food Rescue Policies in their buildings. This is a beautiful story about how one student, Nick Iannone, inspired a few parents in Wallingford CT, Jennifer Janus and Lisa Teodosio, to lead an entire school districts #FoodIsNotTrash K-12 Food Rescue Program.
