Cargill, Inc. matches Nobel Peace Prize cash award with $1M donation to World Food Program USA
Cargill, a World Food Program USA partner, has announced a generous donation of $1 million in honor of the United Nations World Food Programme’s Nobel Peace Prize for 2020. Cargill’s donation matches the cash award that comes with the Nobel Peace Prize and is in recognition of the organization’s courageous efforts to combat hunger, help build a world free of conflict and to prevent the use of food as a weapon of war.
Solving hunger is the greatest challenge of our lifetime. The U.N. World Food Programme estimates that the number of severely hungry people could jump to a quarter of a billion people by the end of 2020. That is why Cargill, Inc. is calling on the U.S. corporate sector to join the campaign to Stop Starvation Now and ensure that millions of severely hungry people get the food they need to survive.
