Description In 2010, one in seven households in Washington State struggled to provide enough food for their families. While hunger relief agencies such as food banks struggle to keep up with demand from those in need, millions of tons of wholesome, edible food is thrown away by restaurants, hotels, schools, grocers, and other businesses. Instead of throwing edible food away, donate it to hunger relief organizations.
