Too Good To Toss
A Food Rescue Program
Too Good to Toss is LOP’s food rescue program designed to reduce food waste by redirecting nutritious surplus food to those in need. Too Good to Toss, started February 2023, when The Studio Café Operated by Hanna Brothers located in the Production Centre at the Trilith Studios begin donating their freshly prepared meals to LOP. These meals consist of, “Certified Angus Beef Grilled Steak, Lemon Oregano Chicken, Flash-fried Sole, and tender House-smoked Brisket.” In addition, LOP also rescues nutritious vegetables, sides, and breakfast.
​
LOP strives to connect individuals experiencing food insecurity with healthy and nutritious meals, all while reducing food waste. We accomplish this by collaborating with homeless shelters that can effectively store and distribute these meals to those who need them most.

Can you believe this food would have been thrown away if it were not rescued? We could not, and instantly started transferring cooked meals to homeless shelters in Metro Atlanta. The food is just “Too Good to Toss.”
​
The shelters are reporting:
-
Clients love the food and look forward to eating it.
-
These delicious and nutritious meals are a consistent source of food for their clients.
-
The food is beneficial to their client’s health and well-being.
-
The food has filled the gaps in the shelter’s food budgets

According to Feeding America, “In the United States, people waste 80 million tons of food every year, which equals 149 billion meals. They throw away over $444 billion worth of food annually. Shockingly, people waste 38% of all the food in America.” LOP’s goal is to increase connecting healthy, nutritious meals for food insecure people to eat and reduce food waste.
