WORLD FOOD MONTH 2026 - The Hunger Project

This October, to celebrate World Food Day, we’re partnering with Australian restaurants, cafes and food apps to help create a world without hunger!

Every meal we enjoy is a reminder that 645 million people don’t have the same privilege.

Through Every Bite Counts, we’re showing how Australian businesses can be part of the solution to global hunger, while engaging yours customers and teams in creating positive social impact.

The scale of world hunger can feel overwhelming, but collective action creates real change. By making every bite count, Australian businesses and their customers become part of empowering communities to build sustainable solutions that break the cycle of hunger and poverty for generations.

Funds raised will go towards The Hunger Project’s programs in Africa and India, where we combat hunger through targeted community-led trainings on nutrition, climate-resilient farming and building local food security.

Participating businesses choose how to give, either through a portion of revenue, or a dedicated donation via a specific item or dish, with funds supporting The Hunger Project.

“Supporting The Hunger Project Australia for World Food Month was one of the easiest decisions we’ve made as a business. The impact is real and the work is incredibly important. It’s exactly the kind of cause we want Hey You to stand behind.”

“Without THP’s intervention, we would never be able to overcome our difficulties in the face of malnutrition in our villages.

We are very grateful to The Hunger Project.”
