Beat Auburn Beat Hunger

Beat Auburn Beat Hunger is a food drive competition against Auburn University’s Beat Bama Food Drive with all Alabama donations benefitting the West Alabama Food Bank and all Auburn donations benefitting the East Alabama Food Bank. Now in our 24th year, we have set a goal to collect 175,000 pounds of food during the six and a half weeks leading up to the Iron Bowl (October 1-November 14). Throughout the drive, we will hold smaller food drives as well as booster nights at local restaurants and other events to get the word out about our program.

Action on Poverty

Action on Poverty is an independent, secular, not-for-profit Australian non-government organisation founded in 1968. We are a membership-based aid organisation that takes Action on Poverty in Asia, Africa and the Pacific, primarily through a partnerships-based approach that sees us engage with in-country NGOs that have proven experience, skills and local understanding. This ensures that our aid interventions are locally appropriate, efficient, and sustainable over the long term. Action on Poverty is fully-accredited with the Australian government, holds DGR-1 status, and is an authorised member of the Overseas Aid Gift Deduction Scheme (OAGDS), which enables donations to Action on Poverty to be tax-deductible and for those donations to be transferred overseas. We are also a member of the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID) and a signatory to its Code of Conduct, which guarantees good practice in terms of organisational integrity, transparency, and accountability. We take a rights-based approach to poverty reduction, believing that all people should be able to live with dignity and have their basic needs met. This approach means we work towards addressing the underlying causes of poverty: not only the direct effects of it. It is our belief that community-based development, underpinned by work aimed at strengthening local civil society organisations and community groups, is the most effective and sustainable way to create opportunities for people to meet their own development aspirations in the long term. Simply put – we help people to help themselves.
