Why Food Donation Works:
Benefits for Businesses & Communities in Connecticut

About the Webinar
Food donation is a practical strategy for reducing waste, supporting food access, and strengthening community partnerships. In this webinar, speakers from CET, Haven’s Harvest, and the Town of Mansfield discuss how food donation programs can benefit businesses and communities across Connecticut.
The session covers key topics such as the environmental, social, and economic value of food donation, how donation can support compliance with Connecticut’s Commercial Organics Recycling Law, and common barriers that prevent businesses from getting started.
Drawing from both technical guidance and real-world experience, the webinar offers practical insights for businesses, institutions, and municipalities interested in building or expanding food donation programs in Connecticut.
