Surplus food program

The Surplus Food Program is a government initiative that distributes excess food from producers, retailers, and distributors to those in need. When companies have more food than they can sell or need to dispose of for economic reasons, this program helps redirect that surplus to community organizations, food banks, and shelters. The goal is to reduce food waste while addressing food insecurity. It ensures that edible food is used to support individuals and families facing hunger, promoting efficient resource use and sustainability within the food system.
