WORLD FOOD DAY

by WHES Staff

Friends and Readers,

Today is World Food Day.  Take a moment to consider how you can help alleviate Hunger, either through supporting a hunger charity, food bank or a neighbor who may not have adequate food.  World Hunger Education Service provides funds to both local and international Non-Governmental Organizations as well as  awareness of Hunger and Nutritional issues.  If there is a hunger charity you support, think about it supporting today; if not, click the become a supporter tab on our website.

The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) makes the following recommendations at their site. 

Many credible international nonprofits receiving donations during World Food Day are members of InterAction.
