Seacoast Waste Not
Gather’s Seacoast Waste Not initiative works to address food waste in the food service industry and alleviate hunger by creating a pathway for good quality, surplus food donations to flow from our partners to Gather’s Cooking 4 Community production kitchen, transforming surplus food into nourishing meals for Gather’s members while also reducing environmental impact.
