Hunger in North America and around the world can be stopped, but not if we pretend it doesn't exist. Find out how Mennonite Central Committee and other organizations are working to put an end to hunger in economically challenged regions and countries, and learn how YOU can do your part. Get a copy of Hunger No More: Faces Behind The Facts, a documentary produced by Mennonite Media for the National Council of Churches. Buy it, rent it, or check it out from a library... and then pass it on.
We have the ability to eliminate malnutrition and hunger from the face of the Earth, if only our governments would allow it to happen. We will run out of hungry people before we run out of resources...
We, as consumers, can make a difference by simply changing some of our grocery shopping habits. In todays global market, we need to think about more than just sticker price when it comes to making a purchase. Look for products (coffee, tea, etc.) that are Fair Trade Certified, and help enable "farmers to live with dignity and invest in their families, communities and the environment."
