Take action this World Food Day at an Oxfam Action Corps event!


This October, Oxfam supporters around the world are coming together to commemorate World Food Day and to rally action to address the impact of climate change on farmers and food. Much of the food we eat every day - from corn to wheat to avocados - is being threatened by our changing climate. And the families that help grow and produce those harvests are suffering the worst costs. But together we have the power to help communities become more resilient to these impacts and protect their lives, homes, farms, and livelihoods.

In cities across the USA, Oxfam volunteers will mark the occasion with events to raise awareness and action in support of the Green Climate Fund. We’re a community of people who #WillFightForFood. Please join us!:

  • Albuquerque will hold its annual community dinner featuring local farmers and musicians on October 17 (RSVP here)
  • Columbus, OH, will host a screening and discussion of "Sisters on the Planet" on October 16 (RSVP here)
  • Des Moines will join Oxfam staff in hosting the "Growing a well fed world" luncheon featuring 2015 World Food Prize winner Sir Fazle Abed on October 14 (RSVP here)
