Playbook: a Kansas hospital turns excess inventory into affordable packaged meals
Memorial Hospital's Food and Nutrition Services department in Abilene, Kan., won a $15,000 grant from the Community Foundation of Dickinson County to fund equipment, planning and education for a new Packaged Meal Program. The program will turn excess food inventory into packaged meals for community members facing food insecurity or anyone wanting a budget-friendly meal.
Why it matters for directors: Local foundation grants can cover the start-up equipment for a waste-reduction program that also builds community goodwill and a new retail line.
