The Freegan Food Foundation gathers what is considered ‘waste' from supermarkets and wholesalers and distributes it the people who are in need on St. Maarten. So produce that has no shelve life, has dents, or is not sellable in another way, canned food that is close to date, or damaged during transport.
The foundation runs a client choice food bank, funded by SMDF and R4CR, where approximately 100 families are registered to receive basic needs each week. To support this (and future) program(s) they also have a thrift store, where anything that deserves a second life can be donated and will then be sold for a small price.
