The issue of food affects everyone, everywhere. In fact, one in four people are food insecure. For many, food is difficult to obtain; for others, it is hard to consume in recommended portions. Many buy more than they can consume, simply because they CAN. 40% of food gets wasted, but only 20% of all wasted food could feed the US population. But why do we not just feed everyone? Shouldn't everyone have food?

There are many programs repurposing wasted food to communities in need, but they are relatively unknown leading to low attendance. The reason for this is a lack of education. Many do not realize the impact of volunteering. The biggest issue is that the youth they target for volunteering don’t know they exist.

Our project aims to educate the youth as they have the most potential to create a change. Education from a young age could change the way food affects people for the better. Our project is to compile media from our volunteer experience and then present it to elementary students along with an interactive activity to help them learn and create long-lasting impacts.
