Philadelphia is one of the poorest big cities with a 26% poverty rate. Along with poverty comes food insecurity, which is at 22% in Philadelphia. This means almost 1 in 5 Philadelphians are starving. In the US, almost 72 billion pounds of food is wasted every day which means that there is no scarcity of food available in the country. The issue is that people don’t know where food is available and the resources at shelters aren’t vast enough for them to reach out to everyone.
What it does
