FREEGAN Food Foundation Launches "Buy One Meal, Donate One Meal" Program
Loading...

SINT MAARTEN (GREAT BAY) - FREEGAN Food Foundation (FFF) is proud to announce the launch of its Buy One Meal, Donate One Meal program — a community-driven initiative that turns every meal purchase into an act of solidarity. For just $7.50, participants enjoy a healthy meal and automatically provide one to a neighbor in need.

How It Works

The concept is simple: one small action creates two moments of nourishment. A single $7.50 meal purchase is split — one meal for the buyer, one meal donated to a community member facing food insecurity. No lengthy processes, no bureaucracy. Just one choice, twice the impact.

"This is how a community takes care of its people — not with charity alone, but with shared dignity and solidarity," said Joost de Jong, Managing Director of FREEGAN Food Foundation. "We believe that food security is not just a social issue; it is a reflection of who we are as a community."
