Charity organizations appealing to companies to donate more unused food to needy

Charity organizations have appealed to institutions to donate unused food from company canteens to the needy. They say that while compared to past years tens of thousands of lunches from company canteens were saved this year, companies still throw away over 70,000 portions of unused food every day. Save the Food activists say the number of people in need of help, most often seniors and single parents, is growing and the process of donating left over food to charity with the help of an app is simple: a courier comes to pick up the food, which is delivered directly to shelters or charities working with the needy. The plan is to involve school canteens as well. Research data suggests that more food is thrown away in school canteens than in company ones.
