HOW YOU CAN HELP
World Food Program USA works to end global hunger through U.S. policies and programs. We build relationships with Members of Congress, mobilize supporters across the country through grassroots advocacy and strengthen coalitions on Capitol Hill. Every year, key pieces of legislation are up for negotiation – and we need your help to make sure they pass.
Join us in advancing these top advocacy priorities in 2024:
NOURISH FUTURES
Reauthorization of the Farm Bill: 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.
GROW A PEACEFUL WORLD
FY25 Appropriations: 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.
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.
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.
Past Campaigns to congress
Advocates asked Members of Congress to provide $5 billion dollars in supplemental funding for international food assistance programs and it passed—securing the single largest amount of supplemental funding for a global hunger emergency in U.S. history!
H. Res 1156 reaffirms the support of Congress for the George McGovern-Robert Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program. Advocates took action and contacted their Members of Congress to support this resolution and it passed!
