Sustainable Idaho: Rolling Tomato

Courtesy of Rolling Tomato

On today’s episode, Madison speaks with Julie D’Agostino, the founder and Executive Director of Rolling Tomato, a Boise non-profit organization geared at ending food waste. According to their website, Rolling Tomato recovers “excess fresh produce and freshly-prepared foods destined for the landfill and distributes them to partner recipient organizations, which in turn distribute the perfectly good food to their communities. Every recipient organization partner(ed) with has different needs for their clients, the vast majority of which are low-income and high-need.” For more information, go to their website at https://www.rollingtomato.org/, and if you live in the Treasure Valley, consider signing up to volunteer as a food donor or food runner. If you have questions you can email Rolling Tomato directly at gorollingtomato@gmail.com.
