Unilever Food Solutions is helping school caterers across the UK to play their role in fighting world hunger on World Food Day by helping them turn it into a week long celebration of world cuisine.

World Food Day raises awareness for organisations like the World Food Programme (WFP), which work to combat hunger.

This year, Unilever will donate 10 meals to the WFP for every case of KNORR Create More Concentrated Sauce or Ethnic Paste sold into schools before the end of October.

James Allred, channel marketing manager for Unilever Food Solutions, said: “Last year’s World Food Day was a great success, with more than 1,000 schools hosting activities.

“Together they raised more than 200,000 meals for the WFP school feeding programme. This year, we’re aiming to work with schools to make an ever bigger difference.”

To help children learn more about food security, UFS has created a fundraising pack for schools with everything they need to get started. It's full of educational promotional materials and recipes to engage students.

Carolyn Smith, menu planning and costing manager, Lancashire County Council, said: “World Food Week is important to schools in Lancashire because it helps our children realise that not everyone enjoys a plentiful supply of food. It goes beyond just raising awareness to as by getting involved we can make a real difference.”

Schools can claim a free fundraising pack when ordering five or more cases of KNORR Create More sauces by calling the Unilever team.
