Aid organization distributes leftover World Cup food to those in need

During the World Cup in Kansas City, leftover food from stadiums, fan festivals, and hotels is being distributed to needy families by the charity organization Pete's Garden. The group has already provided 15,000 meals, including items like Mac and Cheese and chicken from Lionel Messi's birthday celebration. Volunteers work in shifts to prepare and distribute the food, ensuring it does not end up in landfills. According to Jennifer Olson, volunteer manager at Pete's Garden, one in six children in Kansas City lacks regular access to healthy family meals. The initiative was supported by the FIFA, which agreed to provide surplus World Cup food for this purpose. Some volunteers, such as 92-year-old Eileen, contribute their time and energy to ensure the food reaches those in need.
