Food aid reform
If you want to do something RIGHT NOW, click here to sign our latest petition. This petition supports a proposed change to the international food aid budget for the 2014 fiscal year that will feed approximately 17 million more people using the same amount of money. The change allows for local purchasing, which eliminates expensive shipping costs and makes the entire process more efficient.

And if you'd like to reach out and get involved before the 16th, please do! Send me an email at philadelphia at oxfamactioncorps dot org to get in touch.
