October
16 - World Food Day / End Hunger Day
World Food Day is an important opportunity for the Better World Community
to come together to raise awareness about the urgent problem of world hunger and
inspire year-round activities to ensure food security for all. Local, national
and global events are organized each year. In the United States, observances are
coordinated by The United States National Committee for World Food Day -- a coalition
of 450 non-profit organizations. The better world community can help publicize
existing events and activities, as well as create new local fairs, festivals and
house parties to spread the message that We Can End Hunger!

January
1 - Global Family Day
Another
important occasion to raise awareness about hunger is Global Family Day. The Global
Family Foundation and One Day In Peace have been promoting the first day of the
new year as an opportunity for the global family to come together since the successful
day of peace inspired by the One Day In Peace, January 1, 2000 campaign. Since
then a UN resolution and a United States joint congressional resolution have invited
the world to observe January 1 each year as a day of peace and sharing.
