No Food Pack Is The Same
You can help provide meals to families in Gaza. With your support, we can ensure that families and children in Gaza are afforded the basic human right of nutritious meals. As the humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to worsen, the need for nutritious food has become more critical than ever. In Gaza, more than 64.3% of the population classified as moderately or severely food insecure, according to the United Nations. This statistic is expected to increase given the current crisis. Join us in providing meals to families in Gaza and help make a BIG difference.

Our Ramadan Impact
In Ramadan 2023, your generosity helped provide over 55,000 people with food packs and Iftar meals, which directly supported vulnerable families in across 15 countries. The food packs are designed with each country’s cultural needs in mind. They contain dates, legumes, vegetables, rice, flour, oil, salt, and other ingredients commonly used in local communities.
Across the globe, up to 783 million people do not have enough food and more than 40 million people in 51 countries are at ’emergency’ or worse levels of hunger, according to the World Food Programme. The overall aim of Penny Appeal USA’s Feed Our World program is to increase incomes of rural and sub-urban households, increase resilience of poor rural/sub-urban households and communities to setbacks, and improve access to food and individual nutrition of women, men and children.
Make a BIG Difference!
When you give to Penny Appeal USA’s Feed Our World program, you’re not just supporting long-term development, you’re also sending urgently needed food items that reach hungry families in over 15 countries. The food you send travels to both remote deserts and bustling cities, to hard to reach areas where poverty is prevalent, and to our own backyards, where hunger hides quietly.
