Take part in a Global Vigil

To mark the campaign’s closure on 10 December 2015, we’d like to invite you to hold a vigil in your parish, school, local community or town to pray for our work in restoring dignity and reviving hope in those who are suffering from hunger and food deprivation.

The vigil will be held in communities around the world, uniting our global family as we close the campaign. Join us by hosting a vigil in your community.
