When was the last time you walked all day? Was it for fun, or work? Either way we bet you’ve got nothing on Maria Isabel! She's one of our inspiring food bank users, who sells ice-cream on the streets to support a family of 8 🙌 Read more of her story:

Do you know what a healthy diet looks like? Can you afford to eat healthy? And if you can, do you choose to? What is in your local food shops?
Health problems associated with poor diet are rising globally. We need to address economic, educational &systemic reasons behind it!

Using #humancentreddesign, community members helped innovate activities that motivate healthy eating on a budget. In 2019 we aim to put them into action through Community Cooking Clubs; hands-on education and social interaction around healthy food #goals https://t.co/kdC9GLVib5

#Food is fundamental. It defines the conditions for our long-term health, education, and well-being. Not everyone is born with the economic or educational access to health-giving food.
We have in our power to reduce this gap. #foodrescue #bethechange

End of 2018, time to shout out the vendors of Mercado Mayoreo. Even tho they are SMEs that sometimes struggle to keep afloat, they CHOOSE to be socially responsible by donating surplus produce every week...Imagine if everyone did what was in their power to build a better society!

Why should we buy only “normal” looking products? And who decides what “normal” is anyway?! We rescued these peppers at the market and found them very cute! Let’s stop judging fruits and veggies by their looks. 💚🌶 ✊

In Villa Guadalupe: We made an awesome dish from sauteed onion with pipian (similiar to zucchini), tomato sauce, and soy beans - all diverted from waste. We served it up with rice.
Delicious and energy giving for all of us! ...not that the kids need any more energy 😉
