Hi Reko,
just came across your article and want to say it's great what you are doing. In germany my girlfriend and I participate on a project called "foodsharing". It got quite big over the last few years. There we have partnerships with all kinds of supermarkets and the foodsavers come to them and get the food, what would be trashed but is still viable. Then you can take it for yourself or share it with others on the network. Of course government wasn't so fond of it as it was growing but it works.
Go on with it. Too much food is wasted in our society.
