FOOD RESCUE

SDFW is proud to partner with Kitchens for Good as we strive to achieve our goal of becoming a zero food waste festival. During the Grand Weekend keep an eye out for the Rescue Crew as they support our restaurants by taking unused food items to the Kitchens For Good recovery zone to be packaged into meals that will be redistributed to San Diego’s communities in need. Man vs Foods, Casey Webb joins in the effort this year to host the initiative!
