Community Plates makes it simple to feed hungry people and reduce your waste. Our "food-runners" rescue food from food-industry organizations like restaurants, grocers, caterers, farms, hospitals, cafeterias and even individuals who coordinate canned food drives.
No Liability To You
There is absolutely no risk of liability in donating your surplus food as a result of The Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act as well as similar laws in almost all US states. Simply, the law protects good-faith donors from civil and criminal liability should the product donated later cause harm to its recipient. You can donate with your mind at ease.How does it work?
