here's my letter to dan dade the c.e.o. of trader joe's i have also included a copy of the good samaritan act which was signed into being in one thousand nine hundred six by bill clinton and that encourages grocery stores to donate food and it protects them from being sued so i'm just asking him to consider moving trader joe's into the next step of simply not wasting as much food and getting it to people who need it i figured the c.e.o. of trader joe's probably wouldn't get back to me after one letter so i decided to send. a letter a day for the next month a letter went out to t.j. c.e.o. dan bain every morning and we continued diving as normal time passed dumpsters swelled with food and then suddenly the landscape changed we began seeing more people at the dumpsters and not your typical diverse people that seem to need the food a lot more than we did. as i waited to hear back from trader joes about all the food in their trash cans the world spiraled into a food crisis a chance to. meet again the plan to try. to be. coming
