The World Food Programme (WFP) "is the
frontline United Nations organization fighting to
eradicate world hunger -- whether it is the hunger
that suddenly afflicts people fleeing ethnic
conflict in Rwanda or Bosnia or the chronic hunger
that affects the hungry poor in countries such as
Bangladesh or India. WFP became operational in
1963 and is now the world's largest international
food aid organization. Last year WFP helped feed
86 million people including more than half of the
world's refugees and internally displaced people.
WFP has emergency and development projects in 82
countries worldwide and a staff of more than
5,000.

GLEANING AND FOOD RESCUE
A Major Focus of the
USDA National Hunger Clearinghouse
 World Hunger Year "More than 96
billion pounds of edible, "surplus" food is thrown
away in the United States each year. It is
estimated that almost 27 percent of our food
supply is wasted. At the same time, 4 million
children under 12 and about 30 million adults went
hungry at least once every month. The USDA
National Hunger Clearinghouse, administered by
World Hunger Year, aims to connect people and
organizations seeking information about reducing
food waste."

Care "Our programs work because they
provide the most essential ingredient of social
change -- opportunity. The chance to start
a business; learn to read; grow more food; protect
natural resources; build a village well; raise a
healthy family. We believe people can change their
own lives. Our mission is to give them the
opportunities they need to overcome social and
economic barriers. Please help us."
