As a brand that explores healthy eating and changing the food system to be more equitable and inclusive, we have our eye on food-related issues all over the world. Currently, more than 800 million people globally do not have enough to eat—and this includes people here in the US. Furthermore, nearly 45 million people are at risk of living in a famine state.

The main driver of hunger is conflict, according to the World Food Programme. As we witness crises unfolding near and far, our hearts go out to the individuals and families gravely impacted. We know a lack of food is—and likely will continue to be—an issue many face. But we can all work to change this. We applaud the efforts of various people and organizations doing all that they can to provide sustenance to those in precarious settings. Here are four notable organizations worth supporting today.

World Central Kitchen

José Andrés first built a name for himself as one of the world’s most notable chefs. But over the last decade, he has become one of the well-known front-line fighters of hunger. In short, if there’s a crisis, Andrés and his team are there feeding those in need. He founded World Central Kitchen to offer an immediate way to feed people when disaster hits. (World Central Kitchen volunteers also work to help re-establish local food systems.) Most recently, Andrés and his World Central Kitchen team have been providing fresh meals to people in and around Ukraine, as well as to those in Madagascar impacted by the deadly cyclone in February.

Care

While this multi-hyphenate humanitarian organization offers a plethora of aid in more than 100 countries, Care most commonly provides nourishing food to those in places of war. Currently, team organizers and volunteers are on the front lines providing meals and medical attention to those impacted by conflict in Ukraine, Afghanistan, Somalia, Yemen, and numerous other nations. A one-time donation can help to feed those facing hunger and acute malnutrition. Donate to Care

Action Against Hunger

Action Against Hunger strives to fight the causes, effects, and impacts of global hunger. Organizers here work to provide people in nearly 50 countries with consistent access to food and clean water, as well as medical attention. This worldwide humanitarian organization has been in existence for close to five decades now and aims to end undernutrition by 2030. Donate to Action Against Hunger

Feeding America

With a presence in every state, Feeding America is the largest hunger-focused organization in the US. For more than four decades this team of workers and volunteers has pushed to get wholesome food to children, adults, and families facing food insecurity. They also provide education around building a stronger, healthier, more equitable food system. Donate to Feeding America

A final note: In addition to supporting global organizations, there is also ample opportunity to give back to your local city. Grassroots movements working to provide meals and mutual aid are abounding today, much in response to the pandemic. The Mutual Aid Hub is a great place to research volunteer and donation opportunities in your area.
