Black Female Tech Entrepreneur Creates Real-Time Food Rescue App To Address Hunger – Atlanta Black Star


Here in Atlanta, more than 755,000 people including 300,000 children and seniors, live in food-insecure households. Every year in the U.S., 33 million tons of good food is wasted, and it costs the country roughly $1.3 billion to dispose of it.
