Food Banks: Help take a bite out of hunger

Whether it is a very large city or a tiny village, individuals no matter where they come from geography wise struggle to be able to make ends meet and purchase all of the consumable products they may need. Food insecurity affects every community differently but some more than others. In the communities that are highly affected by food insecurity those communities tend to respond with a problem solving approach and create additional opportunities for food availability to those who cannot afford food.

This project will highlight the issue of food insecurity, how some local community groups have stepped up to solve this problem and the journey the food takes from being donated by an organization/farmer to where a local community member picks it up free of charge to consume. 

The goals of this project are to show major things that impact food insecurity, will highlight the pathway food has to come from being donated and will provide a resource for those who would like to be involved in their community to help provide more food for their community members to have. This set of curriculum is just the resource that will tell the who, what, when and why of a food bank food item journey from the donor to those who receive them.
