A plan by Starbucks to donate unsold food to the needy is being implemented in the U.S,. and is being considered for Canada. It sounds a lot like the practice of some South Bayview and area businesses — like COBs — where unsold food is taken to the Flemingdon Community Food Bank by volunteers of the Anglican Church. Starbucks plan is called FoodShare. It promises to use refrigerated vans to pick up unsold food from its 7,600 U.S. company-operated stores and distribute it through food banks.
