As part of Sprouts’ commitment to “zero waste,” the new Winter Park store will donate unsold and edible groceries to Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida through the grocer’s Food Rescue program. In 2017, Sprouts stores and distribution centers donated 23 million pounds of product, equivalent to 19 million meals. Food that is not fit for donation is provided to local cattle farms and composting facilities. Sprouts’ evolving “zero waste” initiatives help minimize food waste while reducing the impact of hunger and the company’s environmental footprint.
