Hauppauge\/Ammerbuch, December 19, 2022: More and more people in the U.S. are living in poverty. Their difficult financial situation is becoming dramatically visible at the food banks. The number of food bank customers has considerably increased since the beginning of the year due to factors like inflation or the pandemic. This means that tens of millions of people affected by poverty are seeking support from the voluntary organization Feeding America. The non-profit organization distributes donated food to people in need.<\/strong><\/p>\n For many years, vhf camfacture AG has been committed to charitable causes during the Holiday season \u2013 under the motto: donations instead of gifts. \u201cIt is close to our hearts to support the food banks, this way we can do something against food waste and support people in need who are affected by poverty\u201d, says Ria Brandenberger, member of the board at vhf, about this particularly sustainable form of help, with which valuable resources are not unnecessarily wasted.<\/p>\n About the charity organization Feeding America:
