"The RE:Source Guide - an easy-to-use online directory created by StopWaste, a public agency serving Alameda County - helps you keep valuable resources in circulation through recycling, donation and repair, and safely dispose of items when needed. Simply enter an item and your city or ZIP code to find local options. The guide also highlights repair services, so consider turning an heirloom or treasured belonging into a special holiday gift by having it repaired."
"Share before you toss: If you find unopened food items that you know you won't be able to use, such as canned goods, grains or dried fruits, consider sharing them with friends, neighbors or through local sharing networks or listservs. Most pantry items with expired date labels are still safe to eat (learn more) - although not sought after as donations by food pantries."
RE:Source Guide is an online directory from StopWaste that helps residents find local recycling, donation, repair, and disposal options by entering an item and city or ZIP code. The guide highlights repair services and encourages repairing heirlooms or treasured belongings as gifts. Food waste rises about 25% during the holidays while one in four Alameda County residents faces food insecurity. At Thanksgiving, discarded food equals 267 million meals. Donors should plan ahead to identify organizations that accept prepared foods and keep contact details handy. Unopened pantry items can be shared with neighbors or local networks. RE:Source also locates nearby food pantries and community programs.
