Food Abundance from Food Waste

Every week they provide food for as many as 1,500 households in Marin County (CA). They don't charge for the food. Nor do they get paid themselves. Who are these people and why do they do this?

They do it because Curt "gets fed by the joy he sees in the people who come to collect the food he delivers." Ruth adds, "If we [Ruth and Curt] do something together where we face out into the world and make a contribution, that is a key piece of having our relationship thrive."
