- There is enough food to feed those who living in poverty and hungry in Wales, but up to one third of food produced is wasted. Most of that ends up in landfills, where it produces greenhouse gasses. Food banking is a proven solution.
- Source donations and types of food: It’s not just about food – it’s about healthy food. That means donating things like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy, and lean proteins.
