The Churches Week of Action on Food is an opportunity for Christians all over the world to act and speak out together on food justice issues. It is a time to raise awareness about food production and distribution systems, examine our own food consumption, and call for policy changes that will ensure the right to food for everyone. Our faith calls us to feed the hungry and care for Creation – this we can do as individuals, as churches, and as global citizens.
In 2011, the week of action was held in 10-17 October, and incorporated the International Day for Rural Women (October 15), World Food Day (October 16) and the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty (October 17).
The winner of our "Food for Life" Sermon Competition, Rev. Randall Bush, delivered his sermon at a special worship in the Ecumenical Centre in Geneva. Read his and other inspiring sermons here.
Use the 2011 week of action resources all year round to continue to raise awareness and call for food justice.
