A solution I came up with to solve this problem is the expansion of food bank drives/drop off locations so that more people can donate to the cause. As getting money from organizations isn’t necessarily the job of a business, this could be a public outreach and education service whose goal is to spread the word about food banks, how important they are to sustaining parts of the community, and how donating food or other provisions to these banks and pantries would make citizens local heroes. It is smart to start in schools, as young kids are very impressionable, and will grow up to be more compassionate and empathetic members of the community. My proposition is just a bigger organization who sees over all of the operations in schools and community centers when it comes to donations from the public. I think raising public awareness is always a great place to start when solving any problem.
Hey Emma, I like that you acknowledge that big business will not really be jumping at the idea of more outreach and food drive programs because it is not as lucrative but I do believe that as more people jump in on this opportunity then businesses will want to sponsor and donate their time.
