Forty years ago, the late John Lennon dared to Imagine a world free from hunger and poverty. Decades later, his legacy thrives as his wife Yoko Ono Lennon joins Hard Rock International & WhyHunger for IMAGINE THERE'S NO HUNGER. (Y0K0ON0)

WhyHunger's global Imagine There’s No Hunger campaign is challenging the charitable approach to childhood hunger by working with grassroots partners to ensure that children have access to nutritious food today and for the rest of their lives by supporting long-term, sustainable solutions that rebuild local food and farm economies.

In just four years, WhyHunger, in conjunction with Hard Rock International and Yoko Ono Lennon, have helped communities grow enough food to provide more than 5.5 million meals for children in need from 15 countries around the world! And to ensure a future without hunger, Imagine There’s No Hunger supports sustainable agriculture training and programs for children and their families at 26 grassroots organizations across the globe.

Inspired by John Lennon’s vision of a world at peace and free from hunger, Imagine There’s No Hunger helps children throughout the world tap into their own power to change their lives by not just meeting their immediate nutritional needs each day, but by engaging them and their families as active participants in growing food in their school yards, establishing farms in their communities and villages using sustainable agroecological production methods. In short, the Imagine partners are innovators in designing and implementing community-based and sustainable solutions to hunger and poverty.

The campaign is highlighted during the months of November and December each year, enlisting the world in the fight against hunger and poverty by asking for donations via Text to Donate, offering specially branded Imagine There’s No Hunger merchandise and creating a conversation with #ImagineNoHunger via twitter and Facebook.
