Thank you for visiting the website for JMU Fights World Hunger!

JMU Fights World Hunger is a committee within the National Society of Collegiate Scholars at James Madison University. The committee works in direct partnership with the Friends of the World Food Program (Friends of WFP), the largest humanitarian organization in the world. Friends of WFP is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that represents WFP in the United States, mobilizing the American public on the issue of global hunger through fundraising, advocacy, and awareness.

By the end of 2009, the number of hungry people worldwide will exceed 1 billion--an unprecedented, record-breaking development. Friends of WFP is able to feed a child a meal for only 25¢ each day, so a little goes a long way!

We hope that you'll join us in the fight by making an online donation. All money raised goes directly to Friends of the World Food Program.

Some companies will match your donation, so please check the policy at your workplace!
