The city of Aurora will accept donation of a refrigerated van from Factor 75 and Hello Fresh to expand a program to give away food donated by the companies.
The truck will allow the city to expand giveaways of food donated by the companies. Factor 75 makes prepared meals, and Hello Fresh delivers ingredients with recipes for home-cooked meals.
During this year, the city has held several giveaways of food donated by the companies, and officials said with the truck donation, the city can develop a program that would be available year-round.
The truck would be operated by the city, although the companies would donate the food.
Alex Alexandrou, the city’s chief management officer, said members of the city’s Community Development Department are working on a program for seniors to receive the food, as well as others.
“We’re still working out the details of how we’re going to use it,” he has said.
