World Food Day, an annual day of action against hunger, is on the 16th of October. Every year on that day, people around the world come together for a common cause: to contribute to the eradication of hunger. It all began in 1945 in Quebec with the creation of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to raise awareness and engage people in the fight against hunger.
Based on FAO’s research, 805 million people, one in nine worldwide, live with chronic hunger. 60% of these are women, while almost 5 million children under the age of 5 die of malnutrition-related causes every year. In honour of this day, food ordering platform, Hellofood has launched “You Say. We Give”, a week-long campaign to encourage collective efforts and be part of this global movement.
From the 16th to the 22nd of October, Hellofood will be collecting its customers’ wishes. One can choose between 5 stock food items (rice, beans, flour, sugar and maize) simply by commenting on the Facebook post. Hellofood will donate 1kg of that on his/her behalf to the Elohim Child Development Center. If the post is shared, Hellofood will double the donation. So, the more people speak, the more Hellofood gives.
With one simple click, Hellofood will donate one kilo of food to the Elohim Child Development Center. Giving has never been so easy. Join the global movement to end one of the most persistent universal challenges. Be part of the solution and make a tangible difference with Hellofood.
