World Food Day
Food is seen as a basic human need, and yet one in nine people globally experience chronic hunger. As far back as 1945, the United Nations recognized food not as a privilege but as a right. This is why they created World Food Day. It is observed annually on October 16. It’s a day of observance to draw attention to the plight of the hungry. So this week, join us in eradicating hunger.
Here are some ways you can help:
- Give to a local food bank.
- Support small, local farms.
- Raise money to end hunger.
For more information, you can also visit the World Food Day page on the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations’ website.
