The global food crisis is a very real and frightening thing to deal with but this food app is doing something to make a difference. By simply eating at a restaurant, you could help fight hunger.
Many are privileged enough to have the income to go out and eat at restaurants but not everyone has that luxury. In fact, it's understood that many cannot afford food at all, but what can we do? We could donate cans to food banks and while that is still an amazing way to contribute there is another way. A phone app called Mogl is letting users donate money every time they dine at a participating restaurant. Restaurants have caught on and many in areas of the United States are already participating.
Places like San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego have already signed on to make a difference and it's only going to grow with time. Mogl is the food app to get if you want to fight hunger.
