The Elisha Project rescues food from dozens of local and national businesses and colleges and works with more than 40 area social service agencies to distribute it. The operating budget, which began with Ortiz’ $48 in 2011, is now $2.8 million. A Broad Street office, that early on was often kept at 40 degrees in order to preserve food, has since been replaced by a warehouse in Pawtucket.
“There is always a surplus of food. There is just not always distribution,” said Ortiz.
