Each year, communities around the world connect on World Food Day to increase awareness of global hunger in hopes of inspiring solutions for change. But this year is not like the others.
In a time where job loss is at an all-time high and food industries are struggling to stay afloat, it is important now more than ever to highlight and support the food heroes of our communities, who continue to fight for a future where no one is left hungry.
“We can bring joy to some people who are extremely privileged, who can afford really nice dinnerware and they get a nice meal in their own home. But we're also figuring out ways that we can bring joy to the other meals where people are maybe not as privileged.
“Someone like Fable, this works out great in a year where there's actually more food being eaten at home,” says Hall. “It’s amazing for us to be able to find partnerships that still have to do with eating, food, and that piece of culture. Thinking about other people eating while you’re eating. Still able to provide impact through a related business.”
According to Hall, there are many ways people can be food heroes, including scheduling monthly food bank donations throughout the year, and what’s called ‘voting with your dollar’.
“Every day we have opportunities to support companies that are doing good things and to not support companies that we don’t believe in,” he says. “If you want to change the way companies operate, they will follow where the dollars are going. Where customer preferences are going. The way you spend your money shows them the way consumers want them to act. Push to companies that give back in some kind of way.”
In a year where the world has become separated, it’s critical to come together for causes that affect us as a global community. Giving back is not only something does Porser , but it’s what Porser is.
“We can help make people a beautiful table, and help people have this beautiful experience in their home, which is very important,” says Parenteau. “But at the same time knowing that when you purchase a set of dinnerware, it also gives back and supports someone with a meal.”
