Last Tuesday, the Moosomin Food Share received a major donation, as a shipment of eggs arrived from Second Harvest, a national food rescue organization that works to prevent food waste.
The delivery included 28 pallets of eggs, totalling 25,200 dozen, all of which were made available to the community free of charge, with donations accepted.
Samantha Campbell with the Moosomin Food Share said the organization quickly began reaching out to local schools, care facilities, and community groups to make sure the eggs were distributed across the region.
“We contacted McNaughton High School, MacLeod Elementary, Cobblestone House, the nursing homes, Retirement Villas, Wapella School, Wapella Daycare, Rocanville School, Rocanville Daycare, Rocanville Food Bank, Whitewood School, Whitewood Daycare, Wawota, Birtle, St. Lazare, and the Carlyle Food Bank,” Campbell said.
“We focus on the non-profits and organizations first. As soon as I got the heads-up that we were getting this large amount of eggs, I contacted the schools.”
Campbell said the large delivery provided a new opportunity for the food share to give back to the community in a unique way.
“It feels good to give back to a community in a different way other than collecting food bank donations,” she said.
“This way, this is something we can do ourselves without having to depend on the community.”
The eggs were distributed throughout the area over the week, ensuring that local families, schools, and organizations could benefit from the donation while helping reduce food waste.
