"The [Highway] 99 and Highway 20 run right through here, so there's tons of trucks coming in and out every day," said Abi Smith, program development specialist for the Yuba-Sutter Food Bank.
"We want to reach out to the community and let them know there is no liability, unless you knowingly bring something that is tainted," said Cathy Turman, admin for the Yuba-Sutter Food Bank.
"We're trying to get the word out to more truckers and more companies," Smith said. "It helps us. It helps them, and it helps divert that stuff from the landfill. It helps everybody."
"These huge truckloads of food that are perfectly usable for us and perfectly edible for the community, it's huge for that," Smith said.
"This kind of thing, relying on our community, instead of relying on maybe some grants or some federal funding that's been cut, it'll be awesome to rely on our community and these third-party individuals," Smith said.
