Food Recovery
Food donation can prevent food from being wasted and direct it to those who need it. If you’re a business or organization that has surplus food still fit for human consumption, visit MN Hunger Solution’s website to find a food shelf near you.

Spent Grain Directory
Spent grain leftover from the brewing process can still have value for farmers as compost or animal feed. The Minnesota Craft Brewers Guild has developed a directory that connects breweries with farmers for spent grain disposal. If you’re a brewery with spent grain or a farm interested in using spent grain (and can pick it up), visit the Minnesota Craft Brewers Guild website for more information.
