Great food.
Greater purpose. 

Imagine if every amazing meal, every incredible food experience, every moment of culinary joy could somehow contribute to ending hunger. Picture a world where the same passion that drives us to seek out the perfect wine pairing or the most innovative tasting menu becomes a force for ensuring everyone has access to good, nutritious food.​​

​

The World Food Auction gives us that opportunity. It's a chance for the global food community – chefs, restaurants, food lovers, and everyone who believes that food is one of life's great pleasures – to come together and tackle hunger as what it really is: a question of justice and fairness.

 

This isn't about charity from a distance. It's about recognizing that our shared love of food connects us to people everywhere who simply want what we often take for granted: enough to eat, meals that nourish, and the dignity that comes with food security.

 

Our approach is simple: we curate once-in-a-lifetime food experiences that money usually can't buy, then offer them to people who truly value exceptional food and want their passion to have purpose. Think private cooking sessions with renowned chefs, exclusive dinners at impossible-to-book restaurants, bespoke food and wine experiences, and culinary adventures that will become stories you'll tell for years.

 

But here's what makes this different: you choose where your money goes. Whether you want to support local food banks in your community, international hunger relief, or innovative food security projects, the power is in your hands. Every bid, every experience, every pound raised goes toward ending hunger somewhere in the world.

 

If you're someone who gets excited about great food, this is your chance to turn that excitement into impact. Join us for the World Food Auction on World Food Day, October 16th, 2025. Bid on experiences you'll treasure while supporting the causes that matter to you.

 

For chefs and restaurants, we're looking for experiences that showcase your passion and craft. Whether it's an intimate cooking class, a chef's table evening, or something completely unique, your contribution reaches food lovers who truly understand and value what you do.

 

For food brands and anyone in the hospitality world, partner with us to connect with conscious consumers who share your values and want to be part of something meaningful.

​

And for everyone else who believes that great food should be a joy, not a luxury that only some can access – spread the word, get involved, and remember that every choice we make about food can contribute to a fairer world.

 

This World Food Day, let's prove that the same passion that makes us travel miles for the perfect meal can travel even further to end hunger. Because when we give a lot, we all gain something even more valuable.
