Your Hands Can Help Feed the World

Zero Hunger Project

One person can’t end world hunger alone, but your hands can be part of the solution.

In this episode, Jamie Cross, Senior Emergency Programs Manager at GlobalMedic, shares what it really takes to deliver life-saving aid. From conflict zones to food banks in Canada, the needs are rising—and so is the urgency.

Responding to a crisis is about building smarter systems, listening to communities, and acting with intention. Whether you donate, volunteer, or simply share what you learn, your actions matter.

Hunger won’t wait—and neither should we. Hit play and take the first step. Someone, somewhere, needs what you can give.
