Prevent Food Wastage Through Food Banks

To fight with hunger issue, we need to understand the problem.

“Every poor person is not hungry but the people suffering from hunger are found to be poor.”

Millions are suffering not only from hunger but also malnourishment. And everybody knows the reason that they are not able to afford healthy food for their families.

Every year billions of pounds of food is being wasted. Food banks solve this problem by spreading awareness. They gather this surplus food & deliver it to people who need it the most.

Feeding Needy Through Food Banks

Many food banks are opened at different places on the worldwide level. Those who donate food or money to people suffering from hunger are like food angels for needy people. Most preferably non-perishable items, food grains or money to purchase fresh food is donated by these food angels.

Nowadays organizations in India are also coming forward to cope up with this hunger issue. There is a Delhi Food Bank network in India which provides services to poor people & after Delhi; Haryana has also opened a Food Bank in Gurgaon. These organizations provide Fresh Meals to the people in need on daily basis.

Once these organizations get the donated food, they save it in their warehouses & distribute it through their different channels depending upon the need at different places.

These organizations not only serve food but they also conduct myriad awareness drives. The winners are announced for their encouragement. Winners are decided on the basis of efforts done in volunteering or on the basis of maximum food collector etc.

All these kinds of events or drives are really appreciable & also the best way to help people in need. Along with this, many school meals programs are organized according to which school students will be provided with the daily meal.
