Sharing Excess
According to Sharing Excess, more than 10 million children live in food insecure households today, and many families are often ineligible for financial support. A staggering 40% of food supply in the USA is wasted every year for logistical reasons like inventory turnover, lack of affordable transportation, and non-standardized expiration dates. Sharing Excess helps turn people’s excess food into conveniently accessible food for underserved communities in Philadelphia. Jaws Youth Playbook stopped by to Sharing Excess with 500 drinks and snacks leftover from our recent crown-jewel fundraising event, Ron Jaworski’s Celebrity Golf Challenge.
