Statistics show:
- America produces twice as much food per person as needed
- More than 40% of food produced in America is not eaten, that amounts to over 29 million tons of food wasted each year.
- Nationwide, food makes up 17% of what we send to landfills
- Wasted food costs America OVER $100 Billion annually
- In 2008 nearly 50 million people in America -including almost one child in four- struggled to get enough to eat
- 1 out of every 6 Americans are at risk for hunger
Blessings of Hope has made contact with many large grocery stores. All surplus food is normally shipped to landfills, but we have convinced them to set aside their surplus, and we are responsible to pick the food up. All donations are used for pickup, storage, and distribution of the food. With a $25 donation, we can redistribute over $600 worth of food.
