What is the Shop Against Hunger?
The Shop Against Hunger is a one-stop site with all your favorite online stores and lots of amazing deals. It’s a quick and easy way to do all of your holiday shopping and make a difference in the fight against hunger at the same time!
How is it different from other online malls?
With every purchase you make through the Shop Against Hunger, a donation will be made to the World Food Programme, at no extra cost to you!

What is the World Food Programme?
The World Food Programme is the world’s largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide. WFP is on the ground in 74 countries feeding men, women, and children through emergency food relief, school meals programs, mother-child nutrition centers, and many other programs. Every donation, every cent is critical because the WFP relies solely on voluntary contributions.
How do I shop?
It’s easy! First, sign up for an account so you can keep track of both your purchases and the number of cups you have filled. Then, start shopping! You can browse by category, merchant, or special deals and offers. Each time you make a purchase, you’ll be helping to fight hunger!
Do I have to sign up?
No. You can shop and fill cups for hungry people without signing up. However, by creating an account, you’ll be able to track your activity on the Shop Against Hunger and WFP will keep you informed with the latest news about fighting hunger.
How many cups are filled each time I shop?
Each merchant has a different agreement with the Shop Against Hunger outlining the number of cups that will be donated for each purchase. Be sure to check out the “1 Cup Filled per $XX spent” located next to each merchant and product.
It can take up to 72 hours for the number of cups filled to show up in Your Account.
What does it mean to Fill the Cup?
The red cup symbolizes WFP’s efforts to provide school meals to children around the world who often don’t get food anywhere else. If you keep in mind that one cup represents a nutritious meal of beans or porridge for a child, you will quickly see what a difference you are making through the Shop Against Hunger!
How can I do more to fight hunger this holiday season?
Give the Gift of Hope! Instead of giving socks or candles, why not make a difference this holiday season. WFP’s Gift of Hope program allows you to “give” such gifts as feeding a child at school for a year or ensuring that a pregnant woman or new mother has the nutrients she needs to support her child. We’ll even send a friend or family member a personalized e-card notifying them of your gift!
What does “Caring is a Lifestyle” mean?
You don’t have to completely rearrange your life in order to make an impact on the lives of others. By making the choice to do your holiday shopping through the Shop Against Hunger rather than another online shopping mall, you’re helping to feed people who have no other access to food. It’s that easy – do what your normally do but show people you care at the same time.
