In 2016, Carla Harward learned from her daughter that children in their community were hungry, prompting her to take action and address food waste in schools.
Harward’s daughter suggested repurposing uneaten school food rather than tossing it, leading to the launch of Helping Hands Ending Hunger, a nonprofit aiming to tackle food waste.
Helping Hands has grown to operate in 150 schools across Georgia, where students are trained to collect and distribute unused food to families in need.
The serious implications of food waste are underscored by the USDA statistics showing significant portions of school food going uneaten, highlighting the need for programs like Helping Hands.
