Hunger and malnutrition are a way of life for over 800 million people in the world, almost one-seventh of humanity. The
tragedy of the situation is that it doesn’t have to be this way. The world produces enough food to completely hunger in
this world; it is one of humanity’s biggest failures that not everyone has access to this food. The Stanford Project on
Hunger works to reduce hunger and malnutrition locally, nationally, and internationally. To succeed, it will take the
commitment of individuals like you. What did you do today?

Stanford Project on Hunger (SPOON) takes as its mission the widespread reduction of food waste on the Stanford University
campus. Unused food leftovers from dining halls, row houses, the faculty club, and special events are channeled to local
organizations to meet the hunger needs of community members. SPOON works in addition to spread campus awareness of hunger
and homelessness issues with the overall goals of reducing waste and alleviating hunger.
