"If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one"

​- Mother Theresa
This quote by Mother Theresa reminds us that we can all do something to help those who don't have enough to eat.   And we must, because food insecurity is not only a problem abroad in other countries, but also right here in the United States.

In Franklin County, we waste enough food to feed everyone who is hungry!

1 million lbs wasted...

In Franklin County, Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO) has identified that over 1 million lbs of food enter the land fill each day, which is enough to feed 250,000 people every day!

18% missing meals

Meanwhile, nearly 1 in 5 (18%),
or ~ 237,000 of our Columbus neighbors are missing needed meals (food insecure). 

9.4% rise in unemployment

With the onset of COVID-19 this year, unemployment increased 9.4% on average in the immediate months following, leaving many with insufficient income for their basic needs.

9% rise in food insecurity

The projected impact of this is a rise in poverty levels, including a 9.1% rise in food insecurity.  We need your help to respond to the increased gap missed meals and support impacted families.
 

How can you help fight food insecurity?

Businesses:

Meal Sponsorship (WeFeed)

We're currently supporting Stowe Mission's food pantry, by appealing to local restaurants to provide lunch one day a month to the pantry. 
  • They currently serve 250 guests every day for lunch, and have only two days each month that are not covered by an organizations, every 4th Monday and every 4th Tuesday. 
  • If your business can provide lunch once per month on either day, email us to admin@wectp.org.
  • Donations to 501c3 organizations are tax deductible under the IRS code, and tax limits for food donations have been increased by the IRS for 2020.​
