Zero Percent, a Chicago-based tech startup is on a mission to completely end food waste while providing healthy foods for not-for-profits throughout the city. They have partnered up with about 100 restaurants(including our favorite pizza spot, Lou Malnati’s) and charities for an event that is known as Restaurant Giving Week.
“For every $5 donated to a Chicago charity, which will cover food rescue transportation costs, donors will receive a voucher for a treat from one of 20 participating restaurants,” explains Paul Biasco in his story on the initiative on DNAinfo.
The week-long days of giving will go on from February 22nd until the 28th but those who would like to participate by donating can do so now.
