From Surplus to Support: How Magic Cycle Feeds Frederick

October 6 @ 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm

Free

What happens to perfectly good food when a store can no longer sell it?

Join Magic Cycle founder Martina Gallagher for a FREE behind-the-scenes look at local food rescue – how surplus food from grocery stores, farms, and other businesses is recovered and quickly redistributed to families in need and community organizations throughout Frederick and beyond.  Learn what can be rescued, what those confusing date labels truly mean, and simple ways we call all help keep good food feeding people instead of landfills.

Bonus: Test your food-rescue instincts with our interactive “Would You Rescue It?” challenge and win a box of rescued food!
