Word of Thanks: Vindeket

Word of Thanks: VindeketThere's a nonprofit in northern Colorado that keeps tons of food, literally tons of food, from being thrown in landfills and wasted. Vindeket rescues food that's still good to eat, but for some reason, it's no longer of use for grocery stores, bakeries, farms and even truckers. Vindeket's team picks it up, sorts out what's still good and offers the food at no cost to the public at its weekly market. Vindeket also distributes that free food to other nonprofits that can use it. They don't buy food. They don't compete with food banks. They are a last line of defense against food waste and a way to feed our neighbors in northern Colorado, serving 120,000 people last year. Since Kyle started Word of Thanks in 2020, this Next community has raised more than $13.5 million for nonprofits doing great work in our state. Like every week, we ask you to consider even a $5 donation – and Kyle will match the first fifty of those. As always, thank you.
