The World Food Day website gives tips on how each one of us can help:
♣ Increase Awareness -- provide a briefing on the issues for the media; promote WFD.
♣ Increase Understanding -- work with schools and colleges; plan a community seminar.
♣ Increase Information -- help in coordinating a research project on community food security.
♣ Increase Support -- hold a fund raiser for local and/or international projects
♣ Increase Advocacy -- seek policy commitments from public officials (or candidates).
♣ Increase Networking -- use WFD to bring together people, ideas and resources.
♣ Increase Year-Around Action-- seek to involve people in on-going service/support.
♣ Increase Impact -- devise a means to measure the year to year progress you are making; consider World Food Day the "annual meeting" for hunger activists.
