Across America, millions go hungry not because we lack food-but because we waste it. Every day, grocery stores throw away tons of perfectly good food while seniors, families, and veterans go hungry in the same neighborhoods. What if your community could fix that-without warehouses, red tape, or government funding? For over twenty years, Respecting Our Elders, an all-volunteer nonprofit founded by Ruth Schwartz and Curt Kinkead, has turned food waste into nourishment and isolation into community. Their grassroots model now delivers more than $4 million worth of fresh groceries each year-with no paid staff and no cost to taxpayers. In The Best Solution to Hunger in America, Ruth and Curt share the exact blueprint that has fed thousands and can work anywhere in the country. You'll learn how to: Build an all-volunteer nonprofit (or partner with an existing one) Enlist grocery stores and farmers' markets as steady food donors Recruit and inspire volunteers from within your own community Organize pickups, deliveries, and weekly distributions efficiently Fund your program through local donors and micro-grants Tell your story to engage supporters and the media This isn't theory-it's a tested, self-sustaining system that solves hunger where you live by mobilizing people who care. If you've ever wondered what ordinary citizens can do to make sure good food feeds people-not landfills-this book gives you the plan, the proof, and the inspiration to begin.
