Perishable Food Donation

A very nice email from one of the administrative volunteers at the Greater West Hollywood Food Coalition that made us feel really good about giving back!
Subject: GWHFC Delighted
Dear Carl,
I can't tell you how delighted I was to encounter you and your daughter at the kitchen of The Greater West Hollywood Food Coalition last night. I had heard of Sunfare and of your instinct to help us, but I was very happy to be able to thank you for it in person, howevermuch on the fly.
Without people like you in the larger community the GWHFC would be nothing but an abstraction -- a good idea. It is you who makes it work, and we simply can't thank you enough for making it something of a priority in your own obviously busy life.
With best regards, and with repeated thanks from us all.

As a fresh food delivery business, we carry a lot of stock in order to be able to provide as much variety as possible to our clients. It's no surprise, then, that we often have a surplus of perishable goods at the end of each day. For quite some time now, we've been donating those perishable items to two food banks (one each in Los Angeles and Phoenix) so as not to let all of that fresh, nutritious food go to waste.
We've been working with the "Greater West Hollywood Food Coalition" in Los Angeles and "Waste Not" in Phoenix. In LA, someone from our office - usually one of our owners or our GM - takes the food donation to the GWHFC after our kitchen is done for the day. In Phoenix, we've donated nearly two tons of fresh food to Waste Not and they've made 65 total pickups at our Phoenix facility!
It goes without saying that we're proud to be part of both of these exceptional organizations. We're happy to give back to the communities that have taken such good care of us, and we intend to continue doing our part to make each of these communities happier and healthier!
