I know you're probably gearing up for the Big Game this weekend, making a last-minute grocery run and finalizing the snacks and treats you plan to makeβlike wings, nachos, and some sweet treats. Speaking of...
Do you know how many pounds of avocados are consumed on game day? Take a guess:
The answer might surprise you!
Here's another surprising fact: Each year, the U.S. produces 92 billion pounds of surplus foodβmore than enough to help millions of people experiencing food insecurity. Yet, this food is often wasted and doesn't actually reach people who need it.
Let's change the game and turn excess into access. Give to the #FoodRescueChallenge, and turn nutritious, safe, surplus food into meals for millions of people facing hunger.
As the nation's largest food rescue organization, we rescue surplus food from grocery stores, food manufacturers, and farms. That food gets redistributed through 200 food banks and 60,000 agency partners nationwide. By rescuing this surplus food, Feeding America helps to provide safe, healthy, nutritious options for our neighbors facing hunger.
And the support of people like you helps to make this possible. Give to the Food Rescue Challenge and now, thanks to our generous match partners, Sheryl Sandberg and Tom Bernthal, every $1 donated is DOUBLED to help us provide at least 20 meals for our neighbors facing hunger.
Thank you for helping us turn excess into access and donating to the Food Rescue Challenge. Your support helps to ensure everyone has access to the food they need to thrive!
Sincerely,
Feeding America
