Hi Millie - Did you check out any of the sections of their website? A lot of information is outlined there. Specific questions about what they do with any monetary donations or money received through food purchases would have to be addressed to them. The focus, as I understand it, is on collecting food that would otherwise go to waste and donating it to food banks and to those in need. Some of the food can be purchased by cafes and restaurants as well.
From one of the links above:
FOUND strives to reduce food waste by gathering and sharing forgotten fruits and vegetables in Nova Scotia. We source our food from local producers, farmers’ markets, and even homeowner gardens that otherwise wouldn’t end up on our plates.
All too often, foods are left in the field to rot, and ripe produce at farmers’ markets is thrown away due to short shelf life. To help address this problem, FOUND collects this forgotten food and donates a part of each fresh harvest to local food banks and shelters, with the remaining being offered wholesale to local cafes and restaurants. Food that isn’t distributed immediately is transformed by FOUND into shelf-stable preserves and other goods that are sold at local markets and shops.
