On today’s episode, Madison speaks with Julie D’Agostino, the founder and Executive Director of Rolling Tomato, a Boise non-profit organization focused on reducing food waste. Rolling Tomato recovers excess fresh produce and freshly-prepared foods destined for the landfill and distributes them to partner organizations, which in turn distribute the perfectly good food to their communities.

Every recipient organization’s clients have different needs; the vast majority are low-income and high-need. If you live in the Treasure Valley, consider signing up to volunteer as a food donor or food runner.
