Today, Mayor John Cooper will challenged area restauranteurs to reduce their food waste while helping to feed hungry Nashvillians throughout the holiday season and beyond.
He also recognized standout, current participants in the Mayor’s Food-Saver Challenge. The event was held at a Las Palmas, which is committing their entire franchise of 7 stores to the Challenge this week.
The Mayor’s Food-Saver Challenge aims to inspire our local businesses to donate wholesome food to people who need it most this holiday season. Up to 40 percent of the food in the United States goes uneaten, with 95 percent of that wasted food ending up in landfills or incinerators.
