Feed the Hungry

You’ll feel fuller too!

According to the World Health Organization, approximately one billion people on the planet are malnourished. Every day ~16,000 children die from hunger-related causes. Poor nutrition and calorie deficiencies cause nearly one in three people to die prematurely or suffer negative health impacts.

Fortunately, there are special people and organizations that dedicate themselves to preventing malnutrition and starvation around the world, and you can contribute to their humanitarian work. Contributing to a cause beyond your self-interest and living up to the elevating virtues of humanity, justice and transcendence can generate great benefit to you as well as to the recipients of your generosity.

There are a number of programs that can directly or indirectly reduce hunger and starvation, including:

You can help feed those who are starving TODAY. Consider contributing some money or a few hours per month helping your chosen cause to raise unrestricted funds, the lifeblood of every non-profit. Just ask how you can help and they will tell you! You could sponsor a local fundraiser. You could volunteer at your local food bank. The opportunities are endless. Go ahead: Elevate yourself!

Imagine what would happen if every person who was trying to achieve their own healthy weight also contributed their time and money to fighting world hunger. There would be a great re-balancing of resources for a more equitable and just and safe world. Here are some opportunities to make a difference:

The United Nations has determined that one of the most powerful ways to alleviate hunger and poverty and improve human rights is to educate girls and young women. Because better educated women tend to be healthier, wealthier, have fewer children and to invest the fruits of their education and work back into their children and family, the return on each dollar invested in the education of girls is great.
