The scale of the current global hunger and malnutrition crisis is enormous.
The World Food Programme estimates – from 78 of the countries where it works (and where data is available) – that more than 333 million people faced acute levels of food insecurity in 2023 and did not know where their next meal would come from.

So, before you throw that food away,
Ask yourself, “how many went hungry yesterday”?
“Understanding the stark reality of hunger is essential for driving meaningful change. Let’s work together to ensure that no one goes to bed hungry.”

I love this so much. I have been lucky in my life to have never gone hungry, but I know so many do. I try to buy exactly the amount of food that I’ll eat, and I always donate to food banks. I wish I could do more, but it’s something.

I am keenly aware of the hunger issue in the world. Growing up, there were times when we either didn’t eat or we ate food that was barely within safe tolerances. These days, I try to donate both money and food items to food banks, and I’m cognizant never to buy more than I need.

As humans, we need to eat—no matter what we need to eat every day. So, experiencing hunger is wrong. Even today, I still experience a lack of food. It’s just awful.

Thank you for bringing attention to this crisis—it’s a reminder of how important it is to support organizations working to combat hunger.

Such a critical subject. I think about this a lot and how we Americans take this for granted. I grew up the oldest of 7 children. We struggled with hunger. I married into a family who is not as frugal as I am. It’s so hard knowing there’s others out there struggling too. I wish there was a simple solution for them.

This is an important reminder to not waste food. The food we won’t eat could be useful for others even people around us.
