Outside of work, she enjoys exploring and creating new dishes.

We are grateful for our community partnerships.

We wholeheartedly thank the teams of volunteers and donors who brightened the holidays for families in our programs! PFU America filled four barrels with canned goods while leading a holiday food drive for Abode residents experiencing food insecurity; and Wells Fargo Leadership team volunteers gave over 1,000 wrapped holiday gifts and handwritten cards to Abode children and adults. Meanwhile, Peninsula Food Runners donated 1,230 Thanksgiving meals, helping families in our programs enjoy a warm holiday meal.

Again, big thanks to these generous volunteers and donors in our community!

📅 FOOD DATES: WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN
(Hint: It’s usually about quality — not safety)

🛒 SELL-BY
➡️ For stores, not your fridge
➡️ Food is often fine after this date

⭐ BEST IF USED BY / BEFORE
➡️ Peak quality & flavor
➡️ Not a safety cutoff

⏰ USE-BY
➡️ Last date of best quality
➡️ Still not a safety date (except infant formula)

👃👀 WHEN IN DOUBT
➡️ Look, smell, feel
➡️ If it’s been stored properly and shows no spoilage, it may still be good

♻️ LESS WASTE = MORE MEALS
Understanding food dates helps keep good food out of landfills and on tables where it’s needed most 💚

The folks at Westmoor High School are working hard to feed families in their community 💙
Peninsula Food Runners loves supporting their efforts by connecting them with generous food donations from organizations committed to keeping good food out of the landfill.

Rain or shine, our Food Runners show up! ☔💚
At the Belmont Farmers Market this rainy Sunday, we were lucky to have such dedicated volunteers — Sonia P. (left front), Yousef R. (right front), Katherine P. (middle), and the generous farmers market vendors who make these rescues possible. Because of you, fresh food doesn’t go to waste, and our community is fed.😀 ,
