Fact: Every bakery, hotel and restaurants have extra unused food that is thrown away at the end of business day.

Solution: Just collect and redistribute all these food. A side benefit is city garbage load is reduced. This has been done very successfully in other cities:

See http://www.foodheart.org/ffth_programmes/index.php. They collected more than 23,000 kg of food in 1 year.

Benefits:
- Each community help themselves
- Businesses save money on reduced garbage
- City reduces garbage waste
- No city or tax payer money required
