Together, we have the power to save lives and go from hunger to hope
Yum! Brands has launched its annual World Hunger Relief campaign to help stop world hunger with multi-Grammy Award winner and pop superstar Christina Aguilera lending her powerful voice as the effort’s global spokesperson.
Global hunger has reached epic proportions this year – with more than 1 billion hungry people around the world – due to the convergence of the global economic slowdown; high food prices; increased competition for products that produce energy; severe droughts and floods due to climate change; and increasing demand from growing economies in Asia and South America.
Aguilera is raising awareness of the hunger issue by appearing in the World Hunger Relief campaign’s new global public service announcement and advertisement that will start airing at the end of September - illustrating that everyone can do something to help, “all it takes is a dollar and you, hope is in your hands.”
World Hunger Relief is the world’s largest private sector hunger relief effort, spanning 110 countries, 36,000 KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Long John Silver’s and A&WAll-Americna Foods restaurants, and over one million employees, to raise awareness, volunteerism and funds to alleviate global hunger.
In Australia, YUM! Brands – with the support of CAF Australia – has launched the World Hunger Relief Campaign. Donations will aid the hunger relief effort of World Relief Australia which is implemented by the United Nations World Food Program (UNWFP) in Asia.
