This interview notes our National Director of Student Leadership is the first student to start a Food Rescue program in a school in the country, which could be misunderstood. Hanna is the first student to actually take the lead role from start to finish that we are aware of and see it through it's completion and implementation. In short, adults followed her lead. There are other schools across the country who started a Food Rescue program before East Meckenburg HS, but Hanna's accomplishment is unique.

Very exciting day for Food Rescue! Our former chapter president, Mike Cookman, founder of The Food Recovery Group, is pictured here with one of our most successful K-12 Food Rescue students that we have mentored delivered since developing our K-12 Food Rescue resources. Hanna delivered a TEDx talk in Charlotte Mecklenburg High School today on Earth Day. A video will be forthcoming in the future, but we are very proud of 16 year old Hanna Wondmagegn for starting the food recovery movement in her school district, and for the exciting opportunities that are ahead for her as she attempts to sway the entire state of North Carolina to adopt K-21 Food Rescue policies in all North Carolina school cafeterias. Way to go Hanna and Mike for changing the world!
