Recipe To Help Stop Hunger

Food’s a human right. 

Everybody deserves to have access to food.

Today’s World Food Day.

It’s a day that’s set aside to bring the awareness of hunger and food insecurity. 

When most of us get hungry, all we have to do is go to the kitchen to get something to eat. 

Many of us can also get groceries, go to a restaurant or order delivery.

There are some who are unfortunate around the world, they don't have that luxury.

Whether hunger’s taking place halfway around the world, on the next block, or next door, it affects everyone.  

1 in 6 Americans go hungry.

Around the world, 773 million don’t know when their next meal will be. 

On the side of this site, are some links to organizations that are working to eradicate hunger. 

By getting involved you are helping others and maybe someone you know.

You can also find a local food bank or charity and donate there too.

Thank you for being a difference and paying it forward.
