So much food is wasted, yet many people are hungry. Jagger Gordon, a chef in Toronto, is turning these two problems into a blessing of abundance. He receives donations of food that would have been thrown away and makes nutritious soups for people who pay what they can. He has been helped by a program called, “Feed it Forward.” Using this model, we can feed everyone.

This is really a good idea 🙂

I know! I hope the idea catches on! 🙂

Thank you JoAnna.

deeply caring
effort of love 🙂

Yes. The kind of love that can save us. 🙂

This is such a good initiative… There are groups of hotels who are doing this in my city 🙂 Not necessarily soups – but distributing excess food to slums.

That’s wonderful! I’d like to see this all over the world. There’s a lot of extra food that just gets thrown away.

Fantastic and uplifting story! Thank you for sharing and being part of the WATWB!

Many of our local restaurants and fast food places will donate their end-of-night leftovers, rather than toss them. I think it’s wonderful that someone is willing to take the initiative to help others in such a practical way.

That’s the way it should be! My husband used to work for a non-profit residential program with an urban farm. He collected old produce for compost. The program residents cooked with some of it that was fine to eat. It was amazing how much food is wasted by grocery stores and restaurants. Hopefully this will change.

Nice to make sure that food is given to those in need. There are programs like this in the US where people gather donated food and distribute it to poorer communities.
September 29, 2017 at 11:41 pm
Yes! It makes so much sense!
September 30, 2017 at 12:11 pm
Definitely. 🙂

Such a wonderful initiative. Food really should not go to waste if possible. Thanks for sharing this with us JoAnna.
September 30, 2017 at 1:14 am
Happy to share! Thanks for your support!
September 30, 2017 at 3:09 am
Feed it Forward… What an amazing initiative. Kudos to the chef and his team. We have such initiatives in India as well.
September 30, 2017 at 10:01 am
Yes! Kudos to all donating food and time. Thanks for appreciating!
September 30, 2017 at 4:01 am
A soup kitchen like this is so helpful to those in need.
September 30, 2017 at 10:11 am
I agree. And it’s nourishing food, too!
September 30, 2017 at 4:49 am
Hi JoAnna – such a great idea … there are a fair number of initiatives around for using up so-called waste food – yet there’s more and more people who are in food poverty (even here in Great Britain) … thanks for telling us about this wonderful chef in Toronto – cheers Hilary
September 30, 2017 at 10:18 am
It just makes sense! Thanks for the appreciation, Hilary!

Feed it Forward…what a great initiative! So much food usually goes to waste it’s great to see someone taking steps to change that. Thank you so much for sharing this and for being part of #WATWB!

It’s an honor to be part of spreading good news. Thank you!

Great Idea, and I wish more would do this.. There are some wonderful food banks here in the UK.. which is food collected often from supermarkets that other wise would go to waste.. ❤
October 5, 2017 at 12:49 pm
I know supermarkets throw a lot of food away. I’m glad to know people are starting to change this. 🙂
October 5, 2017 at 1:13 pm
Yes there was a huge campaign here against so much being thrown.. xx
