World Hunger and Poverty

I believe that only local groups can end hunger and poverty. Only local groups have the direct relationship with a unique community to figure out how to effectively combat its particular brand of these problems. A multinational, faceless organization lacks the localized knowhow to beat poverty. To end poverty globally, we need to use a vast network of small, local groups.

I want to help local activists organize anti-poverty groups in their community. On this page I will keep an updated list of local volunteer groups. This will help organizers develop their local group. It will also help activists find a local group to join.

The list of local volunteer groups:

General Location: Hartford County, CT, USA
Organizer Name: Scott Hughes
Organizer Email: scott@scotthughes.biz

No group near you?

If I do not currently have any groups listed near you. Please consider organizing your own. It does not take much. For example, you could simply get a small group of people together to volunteer once every week or two. If you want more information about organizing a local group or if you have any questions about it, you can discuss it in this thread at the World Hunger and Poverty Forums. We can help each other, and share ideas, tips, and information.

If you already have started organizing a local volunteer group, please send email the information to webmaster@millionsofmouths.com. Please include the name of the organizer, the organizers contact information (email and/or phone), and the general location of the group. Thanks!

Please note, I just started this list on December 26, 2007. It will take a little while to increase the size of the list. If you have a local volunteer group, please send us the information for it.
