Action Center to End World Hunger

Join Tina Fey and Mercy Corps to End World Hunger

The worldwide hunger epidemic is real. Rising costs of fuel and food, persistent conflicts, disease and global warming mean that the crisis will get worse before it gets better.

That's why Mercy Corps is opening a new Action Center to End World Hunger — to get ordinary U.S. citizens like you motivated, equipped and mobilized to end hunger. The new Center opens October 16 in New York City.

All of us, working together, can end the world hunger epidemic. How? Become a hunger activist. Get your children, neighbors, family and friends to become hunger activists. Visit the ActionCenter.org website, and if you're in New York, stop by the Center and get in the action, right now.

Your Action Center visit puts you up close and personal with our field work around the world — in a fascinating, dynamic setting abuzz with smart conversations, high-tech media and hundreds of ways to get involved right now.

For starters, watch this Tina Fey video about the hunger epidemic and how you can take action with Mercy Corps' to end hunger worldwide. Then visit Mercy Corps' ActionCenter.org website to learn more.
