Organizations deliver leftovers to community

CHARLOTTE — The USDA said about 40% of the food the U.S. produces goes to waste.

It’s an awful statistic considering 1 in 8 homes faces food insecurity.

There is now a partnership in Charlotte working to change that.

Champion House of Care, a food rescue organization, works with Feeding Charlotte and commercial kitchens to ensure their leftovers are not wasted by delivering them to community organizations or food pantries.

Table & Twine also joined the fight to end food insecurity.

In the video at the top of this webpage, Channel 9′s climate reporter Michelle Alfini explains how they are tackling hunger one leftover at a time.
