from Santa Barbara News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Veggie Rescue just hit a major milestone—five million pounds of rescued food delivered since launching 16 years ago—and they’re not stopping there. Celebrating with a fundraiser that raised over $125,000, they’re launching Shepherd Giving Farm, a 20-acre plot where every crop will go straight to their network of 65 nonprofits feeding hungry neighbors. With new funding, they’re aiming to rescue a million pounds annually—up from 746,000 last year. Led by passionate farmers and community champions, this mission turns surplus into sustenance, powered by generosity that turns waste into hope.
