Student helping to get food to the homeless

Jack Davis, 11, says, "If you think there's a problem in the world, you don't wait for other people to fix it. You have to try to fix it yourself." Davis noticed that restaurants in his town in Florida were throwing out food that could be given to the homeless. Currently, restaurant owners don't give away their extra food in fear of being sued if homeless people were to get ill or develop food poisoning. Davis wants to reverse the law so that restaurant owners have some protection from such lawsuits.
