School Food Share Tables


What They Are


Recent guidance published by Ohio Department of Health and Ohio Department of Agriculture offers support to schools to set up safe food share tables.

Why They Matter


When food is wasted, so are all the valuable resources that were used to grow, prepare, and transport the food, like fresh water, fertilizer, fuel, energy, animals, and human labor. In addition, food is the most abundant item going to landfills where it creates methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

Getting Started

Setting up a food share table involves a few simple steps and the Hamilton County Recycling and Solid Waste District is here to help you get started at your school! Teach the next generation that wasting food is not acceptable and we can assist those who do not have enough to eat.
