Hearts for the Hungry

The mission of Hearts for the Hungry has three pieces: 
1. To provide for those who are in need
2. To allow restaurants with excess food to redistribute
3. To donate food in a fast, effective, and technologically advanced method. 

First, we researched how hunger and food insecurity plagues Shelby county. A study finds that 204,130 people in Shelby County--including nearly 50,000 children--do not always know where they will find their next meal. According to the Mid-South Food Bank and Feeding America, 22% of the Shelby County population struggles with hunger. This is an increase of 1%, or more than 8,600 people, over the last year. 

Our website is for restaurants, shelters, and those in need. In the website, we have different features to accommodate all viewers. We also have a find us page where you can direct all questions about the food and food safety, volunteering, and the H4H revolution. 

We are Hearts for the Hungry and we are discovering happiness in thankfulness.

  2. Wow! I am so taken by the statistics and this right here in Shelby County. This is a great cause, thank you! I learned something new today! I completely agree with you that food should not be wasted when so many people are in need of food.

  3. I thought that your presentation of your ideas was well thought out and communicated. The site was aesthetically pleasing and easy to access and use. Food insecurity is something that I have never really studied. I always thought more about the hungry being synonymous with homeless, and it really needs to be told to everyone that it is not the same thing. Something like this in the Memphis area would be incredible. Well done.
