Yes, donating unused food to food banks can help address both food insecurity and food waste. Food banks typically distribute donated food to those in need, providing an important source of nutrition for individuals and families facing food insecurity. By redirecting surplus food that would otherwise go to waste, donations to food banks help minimize food waste and ensure that edible food is used to feed those who are experiencing hunger. This direct, practical approach can contribute to alleviating food insecurity in local communities while also reducing the environmental impact of food waste.
