Meet our youngest Southfield Counts participant, 😊 A few weeks ago, he came up to us at the library asking all the right questions about our food scrap drop-off program. Then he came back, picked up his starter kit, and already had the app downloaded and ready to go.

We talk a lot about empowering the next generation, but then someone like this comes along and reminds us that they’re already leading the way. All they need is the opportunity to get involved. The future is in good hands 🧡

Rescued ingredients never looked so good ✨ today our chefs are working their magic with lemon herb chicken, roasted tomatoes, and couscous 🍋 🌿 they really have a gift for taking what comes through our kitchen and turning it into something truly special. Together we are keeping food out of landfills and feeding our community, one delicious meal at a time.
