Feeding the homeless people in Chennai by recycling wasted food


The `No Food Waste' project in Chennai is a crusade against food-waste that can stave off hunger for many of the homeless inhabitants. It will be working with Greater Chennai Corporation to accomplish this objective.
Under the program, the group will receive untouched leftover food from collection points across cities and distribute it to the homeless - it will concentrate on localities that have quite a few of them. The city is being mapped for `hunger spots' which are those areas that have several clusters of homeless population.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 24 January 2017.
The project is at present channelling tonnes of untouched leftover food to the needy in cities like Coimbatore, Erode, Salem, Trichy in the state and in the National Capital Region (NCR).
Due to this unique scheme, the homeless of Chennai may get a dignified way to satisfy their hunger and would no longer have to scavenge for throwaways in dumpsters.
