Hanna explains how she created a program at East Mecklenburg in order to help kids who don't have enough to eat everyday. She explains how she could expand her reach and how every other school should try to create a similar program.

Noticing the amount of food that got wasted in her high school, Hanna Wondmagegn created a Food Recovery program that collects uneaten, pre-packaged foods such as milks, salads and fruit cups, which is then picked up by an organization that distributes the food throughout the community. Tackling the issue of community hunger and food waste, Food Recovery is a revolutionary program that can change how our food is eaten.

As well as advocating for the end of hunger and food waste, Hanna splits her time between leading the school’s Special Olympic sector, Project Unify, and representing the junior class on Junior Board. An avid reader and writer, she has pursued her passion of journalism by working on the school’s newspaper ‘The Eagle’ for two years both as a staff writer and as an upcoming managing editor.
