Mercy Corps' Action Center to End World Hunger works to eradicate hunger around the globe. We educate visitors about the root causes of hunger and poverty, motivate people to action, and provide the tools needed to engage a broader public in the ongoing struggle against poverty. Located just west of the World Trade Center site in lower Manhattan, the Action Center is scheduled to open on World Hunger Day, October 16, 2008 and will be a platform for global education and action, specifically focused on the root causes of global hunger.
