Recreation Altering Method to Feed the Meals Insecure With The Farmlink Undertaking

There is a large downside with meals going to waste in America as hundreds of thousands of individuals with meals insecurity endure, however some Brown College grads have discovered an superior method to flip issues round.

The Farmlink Undertaking is connecting farms with large oversupplies of meals with meals banks across the nation. It is lightyears more practical than discovering a restaurant right here and there that’s throwing away completely good meals.

Co-CEO Ben Collier tells TMZ … he and his buddies from Brown shelved huge careers in funding banking and different areas to discover a higher approach to assist the hungry.

Ben says farms routinely throw out hundreds of thousands of kilos of additional meals, however he and his cohorts are altering that.

He cites one instance of a farm that had 40,000 additional kilos of onions … which Farmlink moved to an L.A. meals financial institution.

The org had 35 truckloads of avocados in Pennsylvania shortly shipped to an space meals financial institution. The phrase “shortly” is the important thing, since avocados spoil shortly.

To date Farmlink has moved 85 MILLION kilos of meals and supplied 71 MILLION meals.

The org is searching for donations … a buck gives 20 meals — 24 kilos of meals.
