World Hunger Day on May 28 was launched by The Hunger Project to build awareness around food scarcity, and the links between hunger, work opportunities, education, social justice, women’s rights, and climate change. There are so many factors that contribute to food insecurity globally, and the pandemic has made each of these factors more acute for people everywhere.
Last year, Protiviti’s i on Hunger program reached a milestone, making 10 million meals available through our efforts globally. The milestone was an opportunity to formalize our commitment to finding new ways to use our know-how as a consultancy to identify and address the root causes of hunger.
This year, the landscape has changed, challenging us to adapt our approach while maintaining focus on our mission. Our i on Hunger team is working hard to keep the program flexible in order to strengthen our offering to the communities where we work and live.
Protiviti’s Global and Local Commitment
As part of our root cause solutioning efforts, the i on Hunger team has been conducting design thinking sessions to find new ways that we can help non-profits more effectively execute their missions so that funding is optimized and has a greater impact.
On a local level, i on Hunger volunteers are adapting our resources to meet the many new needs brought on by the pandemic. Addressing food insecurity is a prime target for the program and our teams are supporting first responders, healthcare workers, children, and the elderly.
