Going Green

CONTINUING OUR JOURNEY TO A MORE SUSTAINABLE CRAIG

This year, we implemented a number of initiatives to become a more sustainable organization and continued our work toward going green.

COMPOSTABLE FOOD CONTAINERS

Since 2019, Craig has been transitioning our to-go materials to compostable food containers with great success! Compost bins are located in all eating areas, and staff volunteers make sure the bins are emptied and collected each week. Take a look at the materials we’ve been able to transition to compostable materials!

PARTNERING WITH WE DON’T WASTE

For the past year and a half, Craig has partnered with We Don’t Waste to divert food that would have otherwise been wasted to be donated to people in need.

By partnering with organizations from restaurants to hospitals like Craig, We Don’t Waste collects food that is frozen, brings it to their warehouses for future distribution and donates it to facilities that can handle the food in a safe manner according to Health Department regulations.

Since 2009, We Don’t Waste has distributed more than 100 million servings of food to those in need. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, We Don’t Waste has been a great partner, continuing to provide food donation pickup in a safe manner.
