Food For Thought - Quest Food Exchange

Questlogo This week on Food For Thought I profiled the Quest Food Exchange, a unique agency that diverts tonnes of food that would otherwise go to waste to people in need.  Quest is one of the agencies vying for the $1 million VanCity award, so if you're a member and you haven't voted yet, make sure you visit the VanCity website to find out more.  I'm not a member, so I can't vote, but if I could Quest would receive my thumbs up, and the million dollars could help triple the number of people they help with nutritious meals every month to 150,000.

Img_2391 Here is chef Jane Barton turning some of the tonnes of tomatoes that have come in recently into a sauce she can then can and give out in food baskets.  Nice to have home-made tomato sauce to put on your pasta!  Please listen to my documentary about Quest Food Exchange in streaming RealAudio by clicking here .
