DESCRIPTION:This event is online only. Please register to receive the Zoom 
 link.\n\nThis work was inspired by Local Food Council partners who were fr
 ustrated by the inconsistent rules across the state for donation of prepar
 ed food to address food insecurity. We plan to use a brief PowerPoint pres
 entation to provide a broad overview of the North Carolina Local Food Coun
 cil’s Food Recovery Working Group’s history\, and its partnership with
  NC State and A Simple Gesture Food Recovery organization. To make the con
 tent accessible\, we will guide the audience through a case study highligh
 ting food recovery from both the donor’s and the receiving organization
 ’s perspectives. To encourage active participation\, audience members wi
 ll be asked to share stories about their own experience and receive a copy
  of our standard operating procedure (via QR code and/or printed handout) 
 to explore during the session. By the end of the presentation\, participan
 ts will be able to: 1.) Describe the concept and importance of food recove
 ry to address food insecurity. 2.) Explain how they can actively support e
 fforts to reduce food waste and increase prepared food donations in their 
 own communities.\n\n \n\nPresenters:\n\nDr. Alice Ammerman\, UNC Center fo
