We use plastic grocery bags when we are filling a food order...so if you would like to donate yours we'll put them to very good use!

#ZeroHunger world

THE GLOBAL FOODBANKING NETWORK:

Let us never forget the world produces enough food to feed the entire global population. One third of food is wasted or lost which equates to 1.6 BILLION tons of food annually - it is a grim reality.

Good nutrition is critical to people's health & economic development & especially vital for children.

A few sad facts:

1 in 9 people worldwide do not get enough food to lead a healthy active life

2 billion people suffer from hidden hunger or lack in basic micronutrients

149 million children under 5 years are stunted or experience impaired growth
