PART B_2

A food bank is a philanthropic organization that works to reduce food waste. One of its activities is to provide food to those who cannot afford to eat enough. They collect food that are not available on the market despite their good quality due to substandard products or inadequate packaging. The organization distributes them to those in need. This activity benefits both those in need of food and companies, which can save costs by not throwing out food that will not be sold.

The idea of food banks was introduced by John van Hengel in the 1960s. He established the first food bank, St. Mary’s Food Bank. In its first year, it distributed 275,000 pounds of food to people in need. Their success spread quickly, and by 1977, food banks were established in 18 cities across the country.

Food bank can contribute to solving global problems such as hunger, poverty, health issues, and food waste. Let us work to create a society where everyone has enough food by being aware of what we can do on a daily basis. To ensure that food is distributed properly and without waste.
