I've been delivering 1,000 meals a week to quarantined families in Atlanta — here's why hunger is an issue that needs national attention (by jasminecrowe)

, an Atlanta-based company that fights food waste and food insecurity by picking up surplus foods from local restaurants and stores and delivering them to hungry families.

This morning, like every morning, I woke up to messages from more people in dire need of food. Every email reads the same:

I've heard from people that worked at colleges, in retail and restaurants, even at banks. These are working people, most of whom have probably never experienced this level of food shortage in their lives.
