Friends of WFP unites organizations and individuals committed to solving world hunger. Our education, advocacy and fundraising efforts in the United States support WFP’s life-saving global food assistance and development programs.

WFP is the world’s largest humanitarian organization, working to put hunger at the center of the international agenda and promoting policies, strategies and operations that directly benefit the poor and hungry.

WFP hopes to feed nearly 100 million people in about 80 countries in 2009. As the food assistance arm of the United Nations, WFP uses food to meet emergency needs and support economic and social development. WFP also provides the logistical support necessary to get food to the right people at the right time and in the right place.
