新的食品救助計劃旨在解決食品安全問題，減少食品浪費。
BOISE, ID / ACCESSWIRE / June 12, 2024 / Albertsons Companies and Uber Technologies, Inc. today announced an ambitious food rescue initiative as part of the 2024 White House Challenge to End Hunger and Build Healthy Communities. The program, piloted last year in the Washington, D.C. area, utilizes Uber Direct, Uber's white-label delivery solution, to create a reliable delivery program to donate surplus food from Albertsons Cos. stores to local non-profit organizations and food banks. Building on the initiative's success in Washington, D.C., the food rescue program has now expanded to Boston, Chicago and Denver to reduce food waste and fight food insecurity in these local communities.
艾伯森和Uber Technologies公司宣佈了雄心勃勃的食品拯救計劃，作爲結束飢餓和建立健康社區2024年白宮挑戰的一部分。該計劃去年在華盛頓特區試點，利用Uber Direct，Uber的白標配送解決方案，創建了可靠的物流運輸計劃，將艾伯森商店的剩餘食品捐贈給當地的非營利組織和食品銀行。在華盛頓特區取得成功後，該食品拯救計劃現已擴展到波士頓、芝加哥和丹佛，以減少當地社區食品浪費和食品不安全問題。
"At Albertsons Cos., we are committed to making a real difference in the communities we serve and the planet we share," said Suzanne Long, Chief Sustainability and Transformation Officer at Albertsons Cos. "We are thrilled to partner with Uber to streamline the delivery of excess food to our partner food recovery organizations, ensuring that the food donated from our stores gets to those who need it most. Together, we can reduce food waste and feed our neighbors in need."
艾伯森公司的首席可持續性和轉型官蘇珊·朗說：“在艾伯森公司，我們致力於在服務我們的社區和共享我們的星球方面產生真正的影響。”“我們很高興與Uber合作，通過流線型化物流運輸，將我們商店捐贈的食品順利移交給我們的合作伙伴食品復原組織，確保那些需要它最的人可以獲得食物。我們可以一起減少食品浪費，供養我們需要幫助的社區居民。”
The food rescue program has expanded to select Star Market stores in Boston, Jewel-Osco stores in Chicago and Safeway stores in the Denver area. Albertsons Cos. stores will deliver food donations through Uber Direct's network of delivery people, who pick up and deliver food to local non-profit organizations and food banks including Greater Boston Food Bank in Boston, St. Cletus Food Pantry in Chicago and Food Bank of the Rockies in Denver.
該食品拯救計劃已經擴展到波士頓的Star Market商店、芝加哥的Jewel-Osco商店和丹佛地區的Safeway商店。艾伯森公司商店將通過Uber Direct的配送人員提供食品捐贈服務，這些配送人員將會將食品送至當地的非營利組織和食品銀行，包括波士頓的大波士頓食品銀行、芝加哥的聖克萊圖斯食品儲藏室和丹佛的羅基山食品銀行。
"After a successful pilot in the Washington, D.C. region, we're thrilled to continue to use our technology to improve the lives of community members in Boston, Chicago and Denver," said Julia Paige, Head of Global Social Impact at Uber. "No individual or family should ever have to experience hunger, and we're proud to work with partners like Albertsons Cos. to help provide access to nutritious foods."
Uber的全球社會影響主管朱莉婭·佩奇說：“在華盛頓特區試點成功後，我們很高興繼續利用我們的技術改善波士頓、芝加哥和丹佛社區居民的生活。”“任何個人或家庭都不應該經歷飢餓，我們很自豪與像艾伯森公司這樣的合作伙伴合作，幫助提供營養食品。”
In Washington, D.C. and the surrounding region, more than 1.2 million people* are food insecure. Since the food rescue initiative from Albertsons Cos. and Uber launched last year, more than 100 food donation deliveries have been made to D.C.-area nonprofit organizations, including The Father McKenna Center, House of Mercy and Tutoring Café.
在華盛頓特區及周邊地區，超過120萬人面臨食品不安全問題。自艾伯森公司和Uber去年推出食品拯救計劃以來，已向華盛頓特區的非營利組織（包括The Father McKenna Center、House of Mercy和Tutoring Café）捐贈了100多批食品。
"This program has been a tremendous blessing for our community, as we provide essential food assistance to more than 100 households every week through our food pantry," said Emily Dold, Food Pantry Manager at The Father McKenna Center. "Our dedicated food pantry team, although small, juggles various responsibilities throughout the day, which sometimes leaves them unable to collect donations from the grocery stores promptly. We are so grateful for our partnership with Albertsons Cos. and Uber. The food donated brings joy. It brings relief. It nourishes and heals. We have been able to offer better food options to our patrons."
克萊特斯食品儲藏室的食品儲藏室經理艾米麗·道爾德表示：“這個項目給我們社區帶來了極大的祝福，因爲我們通過我們的食品儲藏室每週爲100多戶人家提供必要的食品援助。”“我們的專屬食品儲藏小組雖然很小，但每天都承擔着各種任務，有時無法及時從雜貨商店收集捐贈物品。我們非常感激我們與艾伯森公司和Uber的合作伙伴關係。捐贈的食品給客戶帶來了喜悅，給他們帶來了解脫，滋養和治癒了他們。我們現在提供了更好的食品選擇給我們的食品儲藏室顧客。”
