Upcycling Toolkit Webinar

Green Umbrella’s Food Policy Council and Hamilton County Public Health's WeTHRIVE! initiative will be co-hosting a webinar to promote our newly published Upcycling Kitchen Toolkit! This webinar will briefly highlight the contents of this resource and provide insights into this work from organizations who operate upcycling kitchens.

You will get the opportunity to hear from:

Katie Funk - Inspire and Innovation Director, La Soupe

Amanda DeLotelle - Executive Director, Miami Valley Meals

Georgine Getty - Executive Director, Our Daily Bread

Upcycling Kitchens are organizations that rescue food that would otherwise be discarded and transforms it into nutritious meals. They play a key role in our food system. By bridging food rescue, local producers, and consumers, they cut landfill waste and methane emissions while creating jobs and expanding access to affordable, nutritious food for all.

Whether you want to learn more about upcycling diverted food or have an existing commercial space that could be used to help transformation efforts, this webinar will serve as a jumping off point!

Keep an eye out for more hands-on training in 2027, as we dive deeper into bringing this toolkit to life for interested partners.
