10 things you can do to help
stop world hunger
- Turn vegetarian.
- Volunteer at a local soup kitchen or food bank. Offer to prepare or deliver foods.
- Encourage your favorite restaurant to donate extra food and kitchen equipment to local hunger-relief
agencies.
- Give money to worthy hunger-related organizations.
- Contribute to canned food drives or start one of your own by charging admission of a can of food to
your next social event. After the party, make sure your catered extra food goes to local hunger-relief
agencies.
- Get your employer to adopt a hunger-relief organization: encourage co-workers to volunteer; invite
the organization to speak at work; publicize the organization's activities in your company newsletter.
- Get a group of friends together to go on a "gleaning trip" to nearby farms to gather excess produce in
the fields for distribution to urban agencies. These trips are often organized by local hunger-relief
groups.

their accounting, or organizing a fund-raiser.

kitchen equiptment, etc., and circulate it amongst your friends and co-workers to try to obtain some
of the material.
