Hunger And The Holidays

Hunger hurts year round, but during the holidays it is especially painful.IMG_0884 Images of lavish holiday meals and treats splashed across every screen only add to the hunger pains. Our organization partners with food banks, growers, community organizations, and schools to get nutritious short dated food diverted to the hungry while it is still good.  Grocers only sell blemish free perfect fruit that isn’t ripe yet. Ripe produce, the fruit with a couple brown spots, a funny shape, or grade B size is still delicious and nutritious. It is shameful to dump good food into commercial dumpsters when one in five kids in the U.S. go hungry especially during the holidays. We can change this. Let’s feed the hungry not landfills!

EPA Asks Teen Environmentalist To Be A Contributing Writer

Teen Writer Adds Perspective At EPA Blog

The environment isn’t just an issue adults care about. Today’s youth are the next generation that is going to inherit the mess previous generations created. We are clearly stakeholders. So we were thrilled when the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) asked the Founder of Donate Don’t Dump (age 17) to contribute as a writer to the Government’s EPA Blog. We think the youth perspective is important to raise peer-to-peer awareness and encourage more teens to get involved. Please check out the blog post here and let us know your thoughts.
