 HMS Host, startsomewhere® Program​ 

This airport project expands HMSHost’s food donations by getting the majority of airports onto their food donation program. A comprehensive food donation program embodies the triple bottom line. First, food waste is the largest non-recycled contributor to municipal waste streams. Food waste also accounts for large amounts of use of fresh water, fossil fuels and other resources so any reduction has a positive environmental impact. Second, there is a positive impact on the community.
