> Every great solution begins with a question. It was no different for Ruthi Solari,
> who before founding SuperFood Drive asked, "What if we used food drives as opportunities
> to collect healthy food for people in need?" As a nutritionist and student at Saybrook
> Graduate School and Research Center, Ruthi quickly understood that food banks struggle
> just to "fill stomachs" as she was told - often with no focus on nutrition. With
> that understanding a cause was born. SuperFood Drive began as a project within
> the United Nations San Diego Chapter where Ruthi was a board member, but she eventually
> saw the benefit of making it a stand-alone entity. She took it upon herself to create
> a 501(c)3 non-profit, pulled together a team of volunteers, established a Board
> of Directors, and launched partnerships with organizations like Feeding America
> San Diego and San Diego Food Bank. Within the first two years SuperFood Drive helped
> collect over 30,000 pounds of healthy, nutritious non-perishables. The launch last
> year of a related venture, SuperKids for SuperFoods, added a youth engagement element
> that raises nutrition awareness and calls on youth to host their own SuperFood Drive
> to collect healthy food for the local community. Ruthi has given more than 6,000
> hours of personal volunteer time to her cause and raised $35,000 for her organization.
