Surplus Giving
Donating Surplus Food to Fight Hungertle
In Sweden, Stop Hunger has found a simple but powerful way to address two challenges at once: hunger and food waste. Every day, shops, restaurants and producers are left with surplus food. These are products that remain perfectly good to eat, but for one reason or another can no longer be sold.Instead of letting this food go to waste, it is collected and redirected to people who need it most. Families facing hardship, local associations and community programs all benefit from these donations, turning what could have been lost into valuable nourishment. This initiative shows how collaboration can make a real difference. Businesses, organizations and communities come together with a shared purpose: to reduce waste, protect the planet and support those in need. What was once considered surplus becomes a lifeline, proving that together we can fight hunger while building a more sustainable future.
