FREDERICTON, N.B. — The New Brunswick government is contributing almost $1 million toward the construction of Greener Village’s recently announced perishable food rescue centre.
The Fredericton food and social services charity is establishing a new facility aimed at receiving and transforming fresh foods otherwise bound for the garbage, into ready-to-eat items and distributing them to more than 70 food-focused organizations across New Brunswick.
“The ripple effect of food insecurity is being felt across our province, and we urgently need to identify new and innovative solutions to solve this problem," said Greener Village CEO Alex Boyd. "By coming together to make this perishable food rescue centre possible, we will be able to distribute over $4 million in food each year to New Brunswickers who need it most.”
