When LocalCoho, a promising fish farming operation, announced its closure, over 40,000 pounds of sushi-grade salmon were at risk of being discarded. Meghan Durso of TDO quickly mobilized volunteers and collaborators, including the Onondaga Nation, to save thousands of live fish. The team faced immense logistical challenges in relocating, processing, and distributing the salmon to those in need before the farm closed. Their efforts transformed a crisis into an opportunity to help feed the hungry in Central New York.
‘We are going to throw these in the dumpster,’ Ms. Durso recalled, highlighting the urgency of the situation. She quickly responded, 'Hey, wait.'
