This week on Food For Thought I profiled the Quest Food Exchange, a unique agency that diverts tonnes of food that would otherwise go to waste to people in need. Quest is one of the agencies vying for the $1 million VanCity award, so if you're a member and you haven't voted yet, make sure you visit the VanCity website to find out more. I'm not a member, so I can't vote, but if I could Quest would receive my thumbs up, and the million dollars could help triple the number of people they help with nutritious meals every month to 150,000.
Here is chef Jane Barton turning some of the tonnes of tomatoes that have come in recently into a sauce she can then can and give out in food baskets. Nice to have home-made tomato sauce to put on your pasta! Please listen to my documentary about Quest Food Exchange in streaming RealAudio by clicking here .
