The future is equal
Every year members of our community come up with new and creative ways to help Oxfam fight poverty and injustice. You can join in by deciding on the event that works best for you. Below are a few ideas to get you started.
Host an Oxfam Hunger Banquet to bring statistics about poverty and inequality to life. Guests randomly select tickets matching real people who are high-, middle-, or low-income earners, demonstrating that where you end up is all in the luck of the draw.
