For the first time in Super Sowl history , thirty thousand pounds of food were donated at the end of the most famous football game in the United States. It was thanks to the partnership between Food Rescue US, Centerplate Hospitality and the NFL Green Initiative that all those leftovers were collected and distributed to shelters for the neediest in Miami with the help of countless volunteers.
It all started Monday morning, after the soaring halftime of Jennifer Lopez and Shakira, followed by the Kansas City Chiefs' victory against the San Francisco 49ers. Volunteers arrived at the Hard Rock Stadium campus in Miami to pack the huge amounts of food scraps left on the stands, in the VIP boxes, etc.
“It was all thanks to the volunteers. We just want to help people in need,” Ellen Bowen, director of the Food Rescue US-Miami told ESPN. "It is incredible to realize how much food can feed so many people that would otherwise have ended up in the garbage can."
The leftovers from the Super Bowl were able to feed nearly twenty thousand people and it was donated to various centers: Broward Outreach Center, Broward Partnership for the Homeless, Camillus House, Lotus House Shelter and the Miami Rescue Mission.
The NFL has been working to avoid harm to the environment through its greenest initiatives, not only in the Super Bowl, but also during the rest of the games for the rest of the year, from being aware of the idea of recycling to using renewable energy in the enclosures.
