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:

1. Give to a local food bank.
2. Support small, local farms.
3. Raise money to end hunger.
