FROODs: A hunger-free future!

by Mominah Asif

Not everyone is privileged enough to spend winters in front of the heaters, analyzing the newly out episode of ‘The Witcher’ or discussing how Shahzain turned out to be an absolute villain in ‘Ehd-e-Wafa’. Some people who work tirelessly to ease their lives always stay in the background and are seriously neglected in extreme cold and unbearable heat. While we chew on the most delicate bread, there are some people who are bound to dip stale bread in water and wait for the next day to dawn for another meal.

Living our lavish lives, we sometimes totally ignore how much food is wasted every day. The amount of food that can easily fulfill a family’s needs for the entire week or sometimes a month goes to the trashcans. To stop the food from going to waste and bringing it to the right plate, NUST Community Services Club (NCSC) introduces ‘FROODs’, which aims to collect fresh excess food from event places, restaurants, caterers, and serve it free to those in need, with dignity and love.

Last week, we conducted our first food distribution in front of SMME, where the NG staff at NUST was served with warm and fresh food. Our team of enthusiastic individuals made sure that the food was fresh, and no morsel went wasted. Starting with little steps, we are all set to build a community where none of us has to sleep hungry, where wasting food is considered a big sin and every individual feels responsible for every piece of break that goes to waste. Here is to a hunger-free future!
