Stop Starvation
WFP USA advocates for the reauthorization of the Farm Bill with robust funding for critical international food aid programs within the bill, including Food for Peace Title II, McGovern-Dole Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program and Bill Emerson Humanitarian Trust.
Nourish Futures
As the world’s largest provider of school meals, WFP supports children and their families around the world with school meals, snacks and take-home rations. However, WFP is facing its largest funding shortfall in its 60+ year history and urgently needs support to continue programs like school meals.
Grow a Peaceful World
The U.S. government is the largest financial donor to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and plays a vital role in the fight against global hunger. Every year, World Food Program USA advocates for strong U.S. government commitment to funding food aid programs.

Why the U.S. Needs to Fund Global Food Aid Programs
Hunger crises can have global impacts. When we work together to solve hunger, we’re creating a safer world for everyone.
Food Security is National Security
While we have long known that conflict drives food insecurity, the Dangerously Hungry report shows that the inverse is also true: Food insecurity drives conflict. WFP prioritizes providing lifesaving food to those who cannot feed themselves to solve hunger before it leads to conflict.
