The Growing Problem of Food Shortages

Kevin Zhu - Penncrest HS Team Manager

According to the UN, nearly ⅓ of people in the world or 2.37 billion people didn’t have adequate food access in 2020. In light of the current fighting in Ukraine, the number of refugees that need our help is bound to increase. So what can we do to help them? Here are some things we can do to support them:

1. CARE

2. United World Wide

3. World Central Kitchen

4. International Rescue Committee
