World Food Day: Foundation solicits support for less-privileged

The Tabitha-Abimbola Foundation, a non-profit organisation, has called on well-meaning Nigerians and corporate organisations to prioritise feeding of the less privileged in the country.
Mrs Abimbola Agbebiyi, founder of the organisation, said this at a charity walk to commemorate the 2024 World Food Day, in Ikeja, Lagos
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the walk is tagged “Feed the Poor 1.0. No one should go to bed hungry”.
Agbebiyi led members of the organisation in the walk from Airport Hotel, Ikeja to the Lagos State House of Assembly, Alausa, and back to the foundation’s office in Ogba.
The walk was to raise awareness on the need to feed the poor in every community.
The group distributed cooked and raw food items to the needy on the way, especially the elderly and physically challenged.
Agbebiyi said that the foundation had a strong passion to support aged women and other less privileged people in the society, hence the commemoration of the world food day to feed the hungry.
She said: “The walk is basically to raise awareness about the foundation and the menace of hunger and malnutrition among the people living in low cost communities.
“Some people woke up this morning without hope of when and where the next meal will come. We should try and reach out to people who do not have the wherewithal.
“We know the economic situation in the country is harsh and everybody is feeling the pinch but some feel it more than we do.(NAN)
