Faces of Hunger Film Festival in NYC

September 13, 2016 by Mary 6 Comments

On October 14th I’ll be heading over to NYU for the annual Faces of Hunger Film Festival. Faces of Hunger is dedicated to increasing awareness of food security issues in the United States of America and is run by Palms for Life, an NYC based non-profit that works globally with organizations on-the-ground to provide access to food, water, education, and sanitation.

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you know fighting world hunger is one of my main missions in life, and it isn’t just a problem in developing countries. Here in the USA one out of seven children live in food insecure households. And don’t even get me started on the sheer amount of food waste in our country; that was a whole post on its own already! One powerful statistic I saw on the Faces of Hunger page is that if we cut food waste by 25%, we would have enough for everyone to eat. We have to hold ourselves accountable and commit as a country to make a change!!Food Security Waste Fact

I welcome you to register here for the FREE event, I think tickets are only available for another day or so, so take advantage and join us!

They will also have an auction with various items including an annual subscription to MARY’s secret ingredients. Remember, each box supports our partnership with the global organization Feed The Children, so if you can’t join us at the event, you can still buy a box and support the cause while enjoying our curated surprises to help you make memorable meals.

    If I lived in NYC, I would love to go to this event. Food waste is such a huge problem all over the world. In HK, the biggest wasters are the restaurants. People order too many Chinese dishes and then don’t take them home but just pitch it. Huge waste. Okay I am off my soap box now.. lol I think you and I are on the same page with this concept.

    What a wonderful event! Great post Mary! This year we have focused on food waste at home, it’s amazing how much food we were throwing away.

    This is such a great purpose, recently I’ve volunteered with my son for packing food for hungry kiddos and they have showed us a very moving film about kids hungry everywhere, I really couldn’t hold my tears.
