Join the Danforth Center as we commemorate World Food Day by packaging more than 200,000 rice/soy protein meals for the starving in sub-Saharan Africa. World Food Day marks the founding of the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization and is designed to increase awareness, understanding and informed, year-around action to alleviate hunger.

Why? A child dies every six seconds from malnutrition and related illnesses:
•  The response from the heart is to help immediately.
•  The response from the head is to seek long-term solutions.

The Danforth Center’s October 15 (9 a.m.-8 p.m.) and 16 (9 a.m.- 6 p.m.) World Food Day Commemoration will engage people in both types of solutions. Volunteers, supported by generous sponsors and other donors, will help to share in the costs of ultimately providing more than 200,000 for the chronically malnourished.
