I can't believe how much food was saved from the dumpster. The recipients were so grateful! So glad you guys created this system to stop food waste. It is so important! Parker is a great representative of Keep Austin Fed and the training was very good!
Great group of new volunteers and So great to have Theresa, Emily, Sam and Laura as the regular crew as mentors. There were 5 registered and 4 showed up. the donation was pretty large and I made the decision to work inside the loading dock since it was wet and raining outside. made for cramped quarters but we were able to get it all sorted, packed and shipped to the recipients. I also gave the new volunteers a custom quarter card for next steps to complete their on-boarding.

Hi Nicole! Thanks so much for coming out and attending out training yesterday. It was somewhat of an atypical run- between the cold rain, working indoors and the number of vehicles and people we had- so I hope I didn't scare you off of food running with keep Austin Fed;) Thanks so much for your interest and support of food recovery in Austin. See you on a future food run! |

Hi Dina! Thanks again for making it out to the training yesterday and for sticking it out through the cold, rain, and cramped space in the loading dock with us. That was something of an unusual run in terms of how big the donation was and how small our workspace was. But now you are a battle-tested food waste warrior! Hope to see you on a food run again soon. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns! Parker |





Thanks so much for the positive feedback, Shaina- and thanks for sticking it out in the cold and rain with us. I'm glad you enjoyed your first food recovery experience with KAF! It was an unusually large load and we rocked it out in a sorta cramped (but dry!) space. Now you're a tried and tested food runner! Hope to see you on another food run soon- Parker ;)
