The WDW Food Recovery Team swung into action to grab as many leftovers from the Newtopia Food Convention. In a very fast paced / hectic environment, a total of 30 pallets of food and drink were recovered for redistribution to the local community foodbanks. Great fun was had by all.

The ongoing Cyclospora outbreak, which is tied to lettuce imported from Mexico, has now been expanded to 15 states as cases rise. This meant all donated pre-made salad bags from Mexico had to be discarded to protect the Foodbank clients from potential exposure. Fortunately, there was still plenty of fresh local produce available in the market.

AJ assisted local community organisers to pick up food and drink items for distribution. Everything went very smoothly and the task was completed as scheduled.
