    The value of Food Connection:

    Do you get frustrated with the thought of wasted food? Did you know that 40% of all food produced in the U.S. goes to waste? Not here in Asheville! Food Connection rescues unserved chef-prepared food and redistributes heat-and-serve meals from their free food truck throughout town. To date they've delivered over 1 million meals and kept 450 TONS of fresh chef-prepared food out of the Buncombe County landfill. Learn more at Food-Connection.org
