Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Baton Rouge (CCDBR) has launched a retail rescue food program in partnership with the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank. With funding from the Walmart Foundation and Feeding America, this life-saving initiative aims to reduce food waste and address food insecurity. CCDBR will collect surplus food and distribute it to clients through its monthly food distribution sites, as well as to individuals and families in need. ■ catholiccharitiesbr.org
