Maximizing Food Recovery
I case you don't get his DC newsletter. Summarizes lots of good efforts, events, opporutnities in the District. ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Sustainable DC <sustainabledc@...> To: "antoniaherzog2004@..." <antoniaherzog2004@...> Sent: Friday, October 28, 2022 at 10:31:08 AM EDT Subject: Maximizing Food Recovery Having trouble viewing this email? View it as a Web page. October 2022 Photo Credit: Food Rescue US ¨C DC We just wrapped up Food Recovery Week in the DC metro area, which took place October 16-22. The week was full of in-person and virtual events to help participants understand what they can do as individuals and as part of community efforts to reduce food waste and increase food security. Are you familiar with food recovery initiatives in your neighborhood or ward? Here are some places to start: The brand new Reuse DC website powered by the Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE) includes information about how food businesses can connect to organizations that take food donations and how to volunteer as a food rescuer. The DC Food Recovery Working Group supports food recovery on all levels, from source reduction, to food donations, to composting. The group of representatives from food banks, nonprofits, and other partners meets monthly and encourages the public to join. The DC chapter of Food Rescue US connects businesses with excess food to organizations that need it. These initiatives and others help us meet the food and waste goals in Mayor Bowser¡¯s Sustainable DC 2.0 Plan, but more work is needed. Check out the DC Food Policy Council to see how local changemakers are driving policy toward a more equitable, healthy, and sustainable food system in the District. Reuse DC Launched DOEE is excited to announce the launch of Reuse DC (reuse.dc.gov), the first website of its kind that serves as a District-specific information hub on how to repair, donate, and shop second-hand items ranging from furniture to clothing to other household items. Through reuse.dc.gov, the public will be able to search an online map-based directory,explore how to exchange items with neighbors, learn about the importance of food recovery, find an upcoming Fix-It event, discover grant programs, and more! Reuse DC celebrates the partnerships between government, businesses, nonprofits, and other stakeholders vital to the District¡¯s commitment to expanding local donation and reuse resources. In addition to the reuse.dc.gov website, DOEE¡¯s newly created Reuse DC team provides funding to organizations innovating and expanding District resources through the Donation and Reuse Award Program, established in 2022 in partnership with the Chesapeake Bay Trust. The application for the 2023 Donation and Reuse Award Program is currently open through December 8, 2022. For more information, please see reuse.dc.gov/page/programs. Donation and Reuse Grant Award Winners In 2022, DOEE, in partnership with the Chesapeake Bay Trust, awarded the inaugural Donation and Reuse Awards, which included eight awards totaling $64,000. The program funded a donation and reuse project, services, outreach, and education. The 2022 awardees were: A Wider Circle Common Good City Farm Community Forklift Frontline Gig, Inc ShopReuse LLC The Fresh Food Factory Market The Salvation Army National Capital Area Command Three Part Harmony Farm Faunteroy Center Receives Grant for Resilience Hub Project The FH Faunteroy Community Enrichment Center was awarded a grant through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Environmental Literacy Program to lead intergenerational efforts to build climate resilience and address complex environmental problems with Ward 7 residents through a model built on self-determination and collaboration with public and private partners. The project's geographic focus is on Ward 7, home to not only the majority of single-family homes in Washington, DC's 100-year floodplain, but also a predominantly Black population that faces increased climate vulnerability due to socio-economic stressors and legacies of systemic racism.

Beautiful functional antique sideboard needs a home! FREE

Before I put it on Take My Shit, I¡¯m asking my neighbors if they want this great piece of furniture. Bought it at Eastern Market about 15 years ago. I¡¯ve tried to sell on FB with no luck. So, I¡¯m giving it away. Anyone? PS the midddle piece between the doors is there and works fine, I just forgot that when I quickly took the pic before I ¡°stored¡¯ it.

check stolen from mail
4
Hi neighbors, Today I found out that someone stole my visa payment (via a check) out of the mail and somehow wrote the check to someone else and cashed it. (Yes, I am still old school and write checks but this situation is likely changing my old ways). Then they tried to write 2 more fraudulent checks from my account for large amounts that couldn't go through since I didn't have enough money. I filed a police report and the police officer said this has happened to others in the neighborhood. He is going to reach out to the Postal Inspector for DC but wanted to make everyone aware of this!
