Program outreach will occur now through January.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The business owners I speak with would much rather help families facing food insecurity than see perfectly good food go to waste,&#8221; said <strong>Majistra Miami Beach Steven Meiner<\/strong>. &#8220;I thank Commissioner Dominguez for championing this pilot, and I encourage every restaurant and food retailer in Miami Beach to take part so that surplus food reaches neighbors who need it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The materials being shared with businesses include a one-page information sheet with direct contacts to four food recovery organizations that are ready to work with them &#8211;&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/foodrescue.us\/south-florida\/\">Sekou Manje Etazini<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmshare.org\/\">Pataje nan f\u00e8m<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/nourishmiami.org\/\">Nouri Miami<\/a> epi <a href=\"https:\/\/feedingsouthflorida.org\/\">Nouri Sid Florid<\/a>. Additional food recovery organizations can be added throughout the pilot timeline.&nbsp; Miami Beach businesses will connect directly with the organization that best fits their operational needs to begin donating surplus food. Businesses will also be asked to complete a short survey of their current experiences to help inform possible next steps to reduce food waste in the city.<\/p>\n<p>Bay manje anplis atrav\u00e8 \u00f2ganizasyon rekiperasyon manje yo pa s\u00e8lman ede nouri moun, men li gen benefis pozitif pou anviw\u00f2nman an tou.
