Food donation is the act of giving surplus food to those in need, helping to reduce hunger and food waste. Organizations, businesses, and individuals can donate food that is still safe to eat but may not be sellable due to its appearance, nearing expiration dates, or overproduction. This practice supports local communities and food banks, ensuring that more people have access to nutritious meals. Many charities, such as Feeding America and Food Rescue US, facilitate food donation by connecting donors with food recipients. These organizations often work with grocery stores, restaurants, and farms to collect excess food and distribute it to shelters and food pantries. By participating in food donation, everyone can contribute to a more sustainable and equitable food system.
