NORMAL, Ill. — Midwest Food Bank is participating in a Day of Action to Fight Against Food Waste and Food Insecurity on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. on Tuesday, to support the Food Donation Improvement Act.
The Food Donation Improvement Act was recently introduced in both the House of Representatives and Senate with broad bipartisan support. If passed, the bill would help provide relief to the more than 42 million Americans facing food insecurity while reducing food waste.
“Despite millions of Americans facing food insecurity, 35% of all food in the U.S. goes to waste,” said Jada Hoerr, Chief Resource Officer of Midwest Food Bank.
Midwest Food Bank has 12 locations, including 10 in the U.S., and one in East Africa and Haiti.
