2022 Productivity and
Quality Award Winner
Each year, the Quality
and Productivity
Commission, in
partnership with the
Board of Supervisors,
Chief Executive Office,
and the Productivity
Managers’ Network,
recognizes County
employees and
Departments for their
achievements in
improving quality and
productivity in County
services. The Nutrition
and Physical Activity
Program's, "Reducing
Food Waste and Advancing
Food Recovery" pilot
project with Copia was
one of award winners at
the
35th Annual
Productivity and
Quality Awards
Program.
This project recruited
50 businesses, including
wholesale warehouses,
restaurants, and school
districts to participate
in the program. As a
result, over 102,000
pounds of edible food
were donated, which
roughly translates to
almost 84,900 meals. In
addition to increasing
food access, there is
also an environmental
impact of this work.
Over 455,000 pounds of
CO2 emissions and 10.1
million gallons of water
were saved.
