WEST FARGO, N.D. (KVRR)
A pilot program at Fargo, West Fargo and Moorhead Public Schools aims to eliminate food waste by making sure no student goes hungry.
“In the pandemic especially, we have realized there’s a lot of need out there,” said West Fargo Public Schools Director of Food Service Dana Reith.
She says food waste has always been a concern in school cafeterias.
Through the School Lunch Repack Pilot Program, leftover foods like steamed vegetables and pizza slices will be packaged in microwave-safe containers and distributed to students in need through the school’s food pantry.
