Welcome
Introducing ACT FAST with Oxfam
We can beat poverty and hunger—but we’ve got to ACT FAST. When you pledge to ACT FAST with Oxfam, you agree to do three things. Each step builds on the power of numbers: 1, 10, 100. And each person who takes the pledge brings us closer to our goal of beating poverty.
Help us reach our goal of 5,000 ACT FAST pledges by November 30!

Our Signature Event: The Oxfam America Hunger Banquet ®
Few experiences bring to life the inequalities in our world more powerfully than an Oxfam America Hunger Banquet ® event. Organizers and participants alike can experience firsthand how our decisions affect others in the world.
Hosting an Oxfam America Hunger Banquet ® event can also help you fulfill your pledge to ACT FAST with Oxfam. You can use this event to educate at least 10 people about hunger and poverty issues (and even to raise $100).
