Grocery Stores Should Stop Throwing Away Food That Could Be Used To Feed Americas Hungry
We Ask That Grocery Stores Stop Putting Food That Can Be Used Into Dumpsters
Please Click The Link Below And Sign Our Petition.
38 Million Americans are either hungry or on the brink of hunger. And yet many large Grocery Store Chains are continuing to put food that could be used into dumpsters. Its really a crime how much food that could be used to feed hungry people continues to be put into dumpsters. And many Grocery Store Chains have went as far as to post no trespassing signs on the dumpsters as well as welding the doors shut on dumpsters. How can this possibly be right. So we have decided to take action. We are starting a grass roots movement to call upon the Grocery Stores of America to stop throwing food into dumpsters.

Food From The Dumpsters
Click thumbnail to view full-sizeHunger Is Very Real
Tonight we took a truck load of food most of which we took from Dumpsters from behind Grocery Stores to the local shelters here in Shelby NC. Below you can see photos from the dumpsters and photos of the truck after we got it loaded. We are trying our best to make a real difference and you can help us by going to the top of this hub page and click the link there asking Americas Grocery Stores to stop putting food into dumpsters. Greed is the only reason the food is put into dumpsters. There are federal laws in place that would protect the grocery stores if they would give the food to organizations working with the hungry. They could help to feed tens of thousands of people daily but yet they throw the food into dumpsters. Why? Yes why indeed.
When we pulled up in front of the homeless shelters tonight there were many hungry people who came running up to the truck asking for food. Men , Women and Children. Its really sad that in one of the richest countries in the world we have all these hungry people.
But you know what. You can make a difference. Theres several ways you can help.
1. Go up to the top and click the link and sign our petition. Our petition asks Americas Grocery Stores to stop putting food into dumpsters. Once you have signed it copy the link for the petition and send it to all your family and friends. Ask them to sign it and do the same.

4. Buy a few gallons of milk and deliver it down to your local homeless shelter.
5. Volunteer at your local homeless shelter or soup kitchen. Take your children down and serve a meal to the people there.

Wal-Mart wastes food
Feed Our Children First
Its Time For America To Wake Up
Its sad that corporate giants like Walmart throws away enough food in a day to feed a small American City. And some grocery store chains weld the dumpster doors shut to keep out the dumpster divers trying to reclaim the food thrown into the dumpsters. If we came together as one these grocery store chains would have to change their ways especially if we can get together enough people to hurt them in their pocketbooks. Imagine if for one day no one went to shop at Walmart. What a statement that would be.
What can you do you may ask. Well I will tell you. Go to the top of this Hub Page and click the link for our Online Petition and sign the petition asking the grocery stores to stop putting good food into dumpsters. Ask all your friends and family to do the same.
Write to Walmart and ask them to stop putting food that can be used into dumpsters. Below is their address
Walmart Corporate Offices
702 SW 8th Street
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
Bentonville, Arkansas 72716-8611
Write to them and tell them you want them to stop putting food into dumpsters that can be used by hungry people. Ask them to please write to you and give you a answer. Use a post card. Consider buying 20 postcards address them to Wal Mart Corporate Offices and ask all your friends to use them to write to Walmart also. If we can all get together and do this we just might make a real difference and quite possibly change the world for good.

Comment About Grocery Stores Throwing Away Food That Could Be Used To Feed Hungry People
Thanks for your comment. Social Justice is very important to me and we are trying daily to do something. So everyone please sign our petition thru the link at the top of this hub page.
Great hub. I appreciate your interest in social justice. Thanks for ringing the bell! Also free free to see how I try to help others in new ways too. Sincerely: Gary Eby, author and therapist.
When I went to middle school we found out they were doing the same thing when there were sighting of a bear jumping in the dumpster to eat perfectly good food. This food should be given to less fortunate people since the groceries stores, schools, and other organizations are just going to throw it away. Thanks for the great hub.
Thanks for the comment. It is really appreciated.
Great Hub and Information. More people should care about their fellow man. Its sad that we have hungry people here in the USA. Sad indeed. And the US goverment really doesn't seem to give a shit.
It's sick how restaurants, grocery store, schools, etc....throw out the food. The regulations need to be changed
Thank you for speaking up..We have to help there really is no one else.. We are responcible for our brothers & sisters, If we (America) do not change and stop being so self consumed & closing its eyes to all that is going wrong around us we cannot stand.. we are headed for disaster.. Stay Strong & Focused.

I'm glad to see someone posting on this subject. Our local emergency food program collects food from many different stores in our area, and sam's club aka walmart is one of them. I wish that this would become more prevalent. If you are poor, a loaf of bread being 1 day over the "sell before" date is not your number one concern and can mean alot! Thanks :)
