About Us
A Michigan cold storage company has saved more than 200 million pounds of food since it launched a program in 2021 to rescue food that would otherwise end up in the trash, the Detroit Free Press reports.
According to MLive.com, the Lineage Foundation for Good was launched after the company's customers, including food manufacturers and retailers, realized they were wasting millions of pounds of food due to internal sell-by dates, misplaced labeling, or other issues.
"Our customers that have provided feedback that we are the first to come to them proactively with ways to redirect their food...
is all about trying to fulfill that purpose of reducing food waste and helping to feed the world," the COO of Lineage Logistics tells the Free Press.
The foundation works with food manufacturers, farmers, and big-box retailers to get food to food banks when retailers refuse to deliver it due to misplaced labeling or other reasons.
The Lineage Foundation for Good set a goal of saving 500 million meals by the end of the first five years of the program.
By the end of 2022, it had saved 239 million meals, or less than 200 million pounds of food.
The foundation works with local food banks to get food to people in need.
Food manufacturers, farmers, and retailers can take a tax deduction for food donations
