Saving Lives
Food assistance is often the first step towards empowerment and financial independence. With the help of our partner associations, we support people in need by preparing or providing meals and essential goods. To contribute to saving lives, Stop Hunger's efforts focus on two key areas: food aid, to fight hunger, and emergency aid, to respond swiftly in times of crisis.Servathon is Stop Hunger’s annual global campaign that mobilizes volunteers worldwide to fight hunger through food drives and community action.
Food Aid
Hunger isn’t always a crisis - for many, it’s a daily struggle. That’s why our approach goes beyond emergency food aid. Across the world, we work hand in hand with food banks, local NGOs, and volunteers to run food drives, deliver surplus food and reach those in need. Our global network powers local action, supported by generous donors who make it all possible.
It’s a system that works: NGOs identify needs, food banks handle logistics, volunteers take action, and together, we help communities rise above hunger.
Emergency aid
Because time is a decisive factor in situations of natural, health, and humanitarian disasters, emergency aid is a critical component of our mission. It enables a rapid mobilization to respond swiftly and effectively to urgent crises that put vulnerable populations at risk.Emergency aid over the years
2025
In 2025, our teams across the globe mobilized to support communities in crisis, contributing over half a million dollars in aid. Together, we helped those impacted by hurricanes and floods in Poland, Mayotte, Spain, the Philippines, Colombia, and the United States; earthquakes in Myanmar and Thailand; and conflicts in Ukraine, the Middle East, and Africa.
