Frieda's Inc., which specializes in gourmet and unusual produce, will be honored at the 25th annual Second Harvest Food Bank's "No Lunch" Lunch Nov. 24 in Irvine. Frieda's Inc., which has been donating surplus produce to Second Harvest for 10 years, will receive the Second Harvest's first Community Partner Award.
At a rate of three to five pallets of produce a week, Frieda's has donated several tons of gourmet-quality specialty produce to the food bank. Frieda's opts to donate rather than re-sell the surplus perishable items to discount vendors.
