In addition, they offer a No Food Goes to Waste program, which is designed for non-edible food items not suitable for human consumption but can be used as animal feed. By participating in this program, you can contribute to providing valuable food resources for livestock owners, ranchers, and local farmers while also reducing the amount of food waste in landfills.
