"We wanted to find the distribution capacity so that we could get it out there into the network and get it out there fast," said Darrell Brown, CEO of the Canadian National Exhibition Association. This year marks the first organized large-scale effort to collectively donate surplus food, streamlining the process and ensuring it reaches those in need swiftly. The initiative aimed to alleviate food waste from the fair while enhancing community support through food recovery.
Darrell Brown noted, "Food is synonymous with the CNE, and so is community. We know that when there is a need, or an ask to support the community, our CNE vendors are always ready to answer the call." This highlights a commitment to community service alongside the fair's culinary offerings, emphasizing the vendors' role in aiding the community through food donation.
