"Sharing the Table: A Roadmap to Reducing and Recovering Surplus Food in Schools" shares programs that can help school staff redirect food that was assembled for student meals but not eaten. Instead of being wasted, much of this type of surplus food can be given away for later consumption by students, their families and the community. The toolkit, created by Oakland and San Diego Unified School Districts, draws on the experiences and methods of both as they overcame challenges in implementing these programs.
