Have a Big Idea?

Establish local "Food Exchanges" in all towns and cities in America. In a Food Exchange, local stores donate any outdated items that would otherwise be destroyed but are perfectly fine to eat. Local farms, ranches, farmers can also donate produce. Once per week all food gets collected and redistributed to feed all those in need in the community. Very easy to set up, organize, and run, and it benefits so many people.
