🍓 Save food. Spend less. Make a difference!

October is the perfect time to rethink how we use the food we buy! Small changes in our everyday routines can help reduce food waste, stretch grocery budgets and make a positive impact on our environment. 🌎

Throughout October, we're encouraging our community to participate in the Save Food, Spend Less Challenge!

Whether it's planning meals, getting creative with leftovers or learning how to keep produce fresh longer, every little action adds up.

🥕 Ready to take the challenge? Sign up anytime during October and discover simple ways to waste less and save more!

October 8 is DAF Day!

Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are a simple, flexible way to support the causes that matter most to you. If you already have a DAF, consider celebrating DAF Day by recommending a grant to Valley Outreach. 💙

As one Valley Outreach donor shared:

“It’s important for us to give locally. Giving monthly through a donor-advised fund allows us to meet our financial goals while supporting causes that matter to us.”

Not sure how a DAF works? Check out our latest blog to learn how you can give now, receive immediate tax benefits and recommend grants over time to organizations you care about.

🥕 How much food goes to waste? More than you might think.

About 40% of food is wasted somewhere along the supply chain. That’s like walking out of the grocery store with five bags of food and dropping two in the parking lot.

This October, Valley Outreach is participating in the Save Food, Spend Less Challenge, and there’s still plenty of time to join us!

Small changes can make a difference. Plan meals around what you already have, store food so it lasts longer, find creative ways to use leftovers or simply pay a little more attention to what’s getting tossed.

For a family of four, avoiding wasted food could save as much as $3,000 a year. You don’t have to change everything at once—start with one action that works for your household and build from there.

🥦 Save food. Save money. Make the most of what you have.
