OUR HISTORY
PLATETOPEOPLE, a non-profit organization came into existence as a result of our experiences working in various restaurants and school settings. Over time, we noticed an alarming amount of food being wasted on a daily basis. This realization sparked a desire within us to take action and make a difference.
Motivated by the desire to address the issue of food waste, we embarked on a mission to create something that would not only benefit homeless individuals but also contribute positively to the environment. We firmly believed that there had to be a way to utilize the surplus food that would otherwise go to waste.
Driven by our passion, we eagerly shared our vision with friends and family, spreading our message of combating food waste and promoting sustainability. Through word of mouth and personal connections, our network of supporters began to grow.
Recognizing the power of technology, we decided to launch a website and a blog to further amplify our cause. These digital platforms would serve as a hub for information, updates, and resources, enabling us to reach a wider audience and engage with like-minded individuals who shared our concern for both the homeless population and the environment.
With our website and blog, we aimed to create a virtual space that not only raises awareness about the issue of food waste but also provides practical solutions and inspiration for others to take action. By sharing success stories, educational content, and tips on reducing food waste, we hope to empower individuals to make a positive impact in their own lives and communities.
Through the collective efforts of our team and the support of our growing network, we are committed to making a tangible difference. Together, we believe that by addressing the problem of food waste, we can alleviate hunger, create a more sustainable future, and foster a sense of community and empathy.
Join us on this journey as we work towards a world where no food goes to waste and where everyone has access to nutritious meals. Together, we can create a better future for both people and the planet.
