Bread for the World’s Day of Action
World Food Day Action Alert from Rev. Eugene Cho, president & CEO of Bread for the World
World Food Day is right around the corner! This special day is celebrated annually on October 16 to raise awareness for people struggling with hunger, wherever they may be, and encourages global collaboration in creating a peaceful, sustainable, and food-secure future.

This year’s World Food Day theme is “Hand in Hand for Better Foods and a Better Future.” At Bread, we wholeheartedly believe in this message. Hunger is not inevitable — that’s why it makes sense to advocate for good policy decisions that enable everyone to have access to food.
Earlier this year, devastating cuts were made to international food aid and to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) here in the U.S. And right now, we’re in the midst of a government shutdown that is further impacting hunger programs and the ability of families to access the food they need.
These policy challenges will mean that more communities won’t have access to the food and nutrition they need.
But we can change that. When we join together as advocates and urge our elected officials to reject these devastating cuts, they hear us. Together, we can ensure that policies helping people put food on their tables are protected. That’s why I hope you will take action today.
Please join us in our Day of Action! Your generosity, including an early gift in honor of World Food Day, will support our work to advocate for life-saving legislation and help MILLIONS of people worldwide.
Thank you for your unwavering support,
Rev. Eugene Cho
President and CEO
