Food Recovery & Prepared Meal Truck
JLB is working on Broome County & Tioga County's first ever 'Food Recovery & Prepared Meal' Truck! The truck will rescue food from local businesses that would have otherwise gone to waste, and turn it into FREE meals for community members in need.
Like other notable projects over the years, JLB will fund the truck and then hand it off to a partner organization - CHOW!
