How We Help End Hunger
Wonder what happens to excess food on campus?
At Bon Appetit we have committed that by the end of 2018, at least 80% of accounts will be Food Recovery Certified, meaning the majority of the locations we operate within will be regularly donating their wholesome, excess food to people in need through a variety of food donation programs. At Genentech, this program is already well under way with excess food donations going to the Chefs to End Hunger organization.
If you would like more information about this program and how Bon Appetit and Genentech have partnered to fight hunger, please speak with a manager at any of our cafes, or visit the Chefs to End Hunger website for an in depth look at their vision and organization: www.chefsendhunger.org
Farm to Fork
Farm to Fork is a companywide initiative to buy locally, formalized in 1999. Our first choice is to purchase seasonal ingredients from small, owner-operated farms and ranches within a 150-mile radius of your café. Food grown locally is fresher, better tasting, and often has greater nutritional value. Our commitment to local food is about preserving biodiversity, protecting open space, supporting family farmers, and keeping money invested in your community. Bon Appétit aims to spend at least 20 cents of every dollar with our network of over a thousand Farm to Fork suppliers. By doing so, we aim to strengthen our regional food systems so that everyone in our communities can eat well not just today, but for the future.
