Call to Action

WE CAN END HUNGER IN OUR TIME !


The above statement, which appears as a banner across Bread for the World’s website (https://bread.org/) says it all!
Ending hunger will take many kinds of commitments, inputs, political will, resources, elbow grease – and poetry. 

This Call to Action page is devoted to posting about ways that poets and everyone else can help with by contributing to eliminating hunger. 

Calling all poets and creative people!
  • From the poetry perspective, we would like to encourage poets and artists to check out our announcements in News and Blog section where we post announcements for poetry competitions and beyond. Have you heard of one? Please share with us! For the Washington, DC Metro area we try to post relevant events.
  • We have a tab called "Create" which calls everyone to try and create something that responds to the Theme of Food Security. Be it a poem or a work of art - feel free to share the results with us!
  • Check out our websites for resources. Here, for example, one can find an interview with the author Hillary Dodge: Food Literacy - taking steps through reading to learn more about food and its many facets.

Everyone can contribute!
Not a poet but looking to get involved in fighting hunger? - Everyone can respond to this Call to Action. We will keep providing and updating our Resources section which provides an overview of organizations working on hunger-related issues.

Have something interesting to share? 
Please reach out and let us know.
