[World Food Programme]( Hello Mother Jones Reader, The world is in the midst of a global hunger crisis — the largest in recent history. There are 42 million people across 45 countries who are on the brink of starvation or worse. Over 1 million people are either facing or expected to face catastrophic hunger by the end of 2024. The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) plans to serve 150 million people this year alone. To do this work, the U.N. World Food Programme relies on voluntary contributions from various partners including individuals (like you!), the private sector and governments. The U.S. government is the largest financial donor to the U.N. World Food Programme. Every year, through the appropriations process, the U.S. government allocates funds for federal programs and agencies that contribute to the U.N. World Food Programme’s work. In these unprecedented times, when the level of need is higher than ever before, [please tell your Members of Congress to save lives and fund international food aid programs.]( Through the appropriations process, the U.S. allocates funds for programs like Food for Peace Title II. Food for Peace provides the U.N. World Food Programme with U.S.-grown agricultural commodities, including rice, corn, wheat and soybeans, to feed people in need around the world. This is why it is critical that you [write to your Members of Congress to continue their support to the U.N. World Food Programme]( by providing robust funding for international food aid programs through the annual appropriations process. [TAKE ACTION]( You are an integral part of this effort. Your action will help World Food Program USA secure the lifesaving funding the U.N. World Food Programme needs to fight hunger worldwide.
