Welcome to SPOON!


National Law

The Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act signed by President Bill Clinton in 1996 makes food salvaging easier. It protects donaors from liability when donating to a non-profit. This has become a standard, national law, whereas different states had different laws prior to this.
For more information about the law, please see:

However, keep in mind that there are still local laws on food handling by volunteers. Please read the how-to manual thoroughly and get in touch with your local government when you are trying to set up a food salvaging program.
