Anthony Gucciardi Donates to Help Feed 525,000 People in Austin
AUSTIN, Texas, June 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Natural health and self-development author, speaker, and activist Anthony Gucciardi has launched a charitable donation to an Austin-based non-profit that will help provide over 525,000 meals to those in need.
"I've always been shocked by the reality that over 43 billion pounds of food is thrown into the trash each year by grocery stores that could have otherwise helped to wipe out the hunger crisis. To me, it is insane that grocery stores are dumping $15 billion worth of food into the garbage that is perfectly edible. So I decided after looking at the data that I was going to help take a stand, and to help inspire others to offer value and create programs that can make the difference. That's why I'm so excited to be aiding this effort," said Anthony Gucciardi of NaturalSociety.com, whose writings have been featured in #1 USA Today and Wall Street Journal Best-Selling books.
Concerned with the continued hunger crisis inside the United States, Anthony teamed up with Austin, Texas based non-profit Keep Austin Fed in order to help facilitate the transfer of edible food from retailers to food banks and homeless shelters. Organizations like these already exist in many cities, and are beginning to pop up all over the country. But the problem is that many people don't know they exist.
In a continuing effort to eliminate the issue of hunger, Anthony made a public donation in an effort to highlight two essential areas: the severity of hunger inside the richest nation in the world, and the ways in which we can actively use the billions of dollars of food being dumped by mega grocery chains to help solve it.
If anyone wants to give more value and feel happier, this is a great way to do it. Please consider donating time to a vehicle like Keep Austin Fed and create similar groups in your own neighborhoods.
