BCOC staff ready to go!

BCOC Retail Rescue has a new truck!

Thank you to the County of Bucks for the grant funds to add this truck to the Food Program resources!

Retail Rescue refers to the practice of recovering and redistributing surplus food that would otherwise be wasted from grocery stores and other retailers. Currently, BCOC works with Wegmans Yardley and Warrington, Amazon Fresh Bensalem, Acme Markets and Target in Doylestown, and Giant Food Market in Feasterville. This food is then distributed throughout the county to BCOC’s network of pantry partners, ensuring the food arrives while still fresh and shelf viable, available to residents in need daily.

“This truck is a game-changer for helping grow and enrich our pantry network distribution efforts,” commented Rick Mayer, Retail Rescue Coordinator, pictured far right.

The program is always looking to add more locations. Please reach out to Elizabeth Zbinden at ezbinden@bcoc.org/267-733-0529 x316 for more information on joining our retail rescue operations.
