Run the weekly food-rescue route from Fresno County packers to Huron and Mendota pantries (2026-07-18)

Truckloads of edible seconds leave valley packing houses for compost while the towns that picked them run food-insecure. One reliable weekly van route from donating packers to the towns' pantries closes the loop SB 1383 already requires. Standard: CalRecycle SB 1383 edible food recovery; county food-bank routing. Michelin waste-elimination surroundings, SDG 2/12. Proof: route log + weights + receiver sign-offs Method (CalRecycle SB 1383 edible food recovery; county food-bank routing. Michelin waste-elimination surroundings, SDG 2/12.): 1. Confirm the week's pickup list with the coordinating pantry. 2. Collect from each donor; log weights per pickup; keep cold chain per the pantry's rules. 3. Deliver to the pantry; photograph the delivered load and get the receiver's sign-off. 4. Submit the route log with weights and sign-offs. Done when: route log + weights + receiver sign-offs

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

route log + weights + receiver sign-offs

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 60–120 minutes. Method of record: Michelin Green Star-style 7-criterion sustainability scorecard

Bring

• tablet/clipboard
• camera
• scale (waste weighing scope)
• 7-criterion rubric

Steps

1. 1. Confirm the site + address; arrange a staff escort for back-of-house.
2. 2. Photograph evidence for each criterion: sourcing, waste stream, energy, water, procurement records, seasonality, team practices.
3. 3. Score each of the 7 criteria against the rubric with an evidence note.
4. 4. For a waste audit, weigh or estimate food waste for one service and identify recovery/donation options.
5. 5. Rank the highest-impact improvement recommendations.
6. 6. Enter scores, evidence notes, waste data, recommendations, photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Food-safety or hygiene hazard observed -> note and defer to staff; documentation only.
• Significant edible waste -> recommend the EPA Food Recovery Hierarchy (donation before disposal).

What counts as done

• Score recorded for each of the 7 criteria with an evidence note
• Food-waste weight/volume recorded (waste-audit scope)
• Recovery/donation options identified (waste scope)
• Ranked improvement recommendations + photos + address confirm

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
