fallingfruit.org is a great resource as well
This is great, but remember not to harass your local grocery store employee. They likely don't have the authority to let you go through the food they are going to throw away. It sucks, but many corporate chains will prohibit donating or otherwise using produce destined for the bin.
It doesn't hurt to ask, but if they say "no," say thanks anyway and go someplace else.
