Aside from the post card, for every order of Pizza Hut-WFP Bundle Feast, Pizza Hut restaurants will give 10 pesos to the World Hunger Relief campaign. For Taco Bell, like Pizza Hut, they will donate P10 for every order of Nachos Bellgrande Combo Meal.
Stephen Anderson, Country Director of World Food Programme encouraged everyone in taking their part in fighting hunger. “World Hunger Relief is an innovative global campaign which allows the public and private sectors to come together and address one of the most pressing issues of our time – the silent crisis of world hunger,” he ended.
The World Hunger Relief campaign, first launched in 2007, is the world’s largest private sector effort on the issue of hunger. In the past three years, YUM! Brands has raised nearly US$60 million for WFP and other hunger relief agencies globally. To date, the campaign spans 110 countries and has mobilized 37,000 restaurants and over one million employees to volunteer, raise hunger awareness and funds. Multi-Grammy Award winner, pop superstar and WFP Ambassador Against Hunger Christina Aguilera is also the global spokesperson for World Hunger Relief.
