Poland
Goal
From Hunger was started in 2020 during the first lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During this period, many people lost their jobs or fell into financial difficulties. From Hunger focuses on the collection of leftover fruits and vegetables from wholesalers located at the Targ Piast market square, and redistribution to people in need. From Hunger is supported by volunteers who offer to drive to collect and distribute food, communicating mainly through a dedicated Facebook group. The group operates based on a set of guidelines to make sure that food is distributed fairly to those who need it most. From Hunger aims to ensure that local people’s basic food needs are satisfied, making use of local, otherwise wasted resources.
