It is the grand irony of life that while some people are suffering from hunger and malnutrition, others are throwing away and wasting their food. Everybody that is privileged enough to be able to purchase food is also guilty of wasting food.
How YOU can help?
Ttable.org believes that people can directly impact hunger starting in their local communities by sharing their excess or unwanted food. Just imagine if the privileged of the world (yes, that is YOU!) start giving away their excess food without throwing it out.
Poor people will not go hungry if the households, supermarkets, hospitals, businesses and restaurants of the world start sharing their unwanted and leftover food.
You can start making a difference today!

Ttable.org encourages people to consume and buy only out of need and not greed. We realize most individuals do not waste food intentionally. Food wastage not only costs the individual but society as a whole- the collection of waste is pricey as are the environmental consequences of the carbon dioxide emitted from food waste in landfill.
