how normally wasted food go to the needy

From a great article in The Australian

Every day, tonnes of excess food is thrown away, wasted, even though much of it is perfectly edible. Every day, OzHarvest tries to do something about that contradiction. It collects at least some of the extra food and delivers it to charities that can make good and immediate use of it.

I cringe when I see or know of food being wasted. This is such a logical solution, that it's a wonder why it took so long.

OzHarvest only began in 2004, but is providing a great service. Similarly, SecondBite in Melbourne.

I hope this cold winter will not be a long one.
