** Explore How You Use Fuel with Our Newest Initiative
------------------------------------------------------------


** July 22, 2020

Vegetables left to rot in fields. Meat facility closures lead to significant amounts of wasted poultry and pork. The challenges the food industry faces due to the coronavirus are significant, and organizations across the nation have scrambled to rescue food intended for restaurants, corporations and other businesses that would otherwise go to waste.
