Hunger among Americans is real. According to USDA, 47.4 million people in the United States, including 7.2 million children, are battling hunger and feeling food insecure as of 2023 (USDA).

With a vision to make America hunger free, the Humanity First USA Food Security program reduces hunger, provides food to our communities, and raises awareness.

This month is Ramadan. By fasting for over 12 hours a day, all Muslims get a small taste of hunger and the pain endured by people with little or no food to eat. But unlike many who go on to enjoy their favorite foods after breaking their fast in the evening, millions do not have the luxury of even one full meal a day.

The Fast2Feed “Donate your Lunch” drive urges everyone to donate at least the value of one meal while you fast to fill a hungry stomach. People from any faith tradition can skip a meal and donate that small amount to feed children, parents, and elders who are suffering because of food insecurity in America.

This campaign will not only support Humanity First USA’s 8 food pantries across the USA but will also support our global food distribution efforts. 

Local leaders dedicate any day this month as Humanity First Beat Hunger Day 2025 to raise awareness of hunger in their communities and encourage people to “donate a lunch”!
