Food for Hope: How John Van Hengel Invented Food Banks for the Hungry

Description

Hunger continues to be an international problem. This true story of how one ordinary person did something extraordinary shows how everyone can do something to make a difference.

Readers will feel encouraged to find their own way to make a difference. Real life experience plus social justice interests combine into a powerful solution, filling empty bellies with nourishing food, all without costing a lot of money. Recycling meets hunger in John van Hengel's ingenious, yet obvious solution to both food waste and widespread hunger.
