Ghanaian culinary enthusiast, Chef Abbys, is set to mark the 2025 World Food Day in October with a major street food distribution initiative dubbed ‘Big Street Feast.’
Scheduled for Thursday, October 16, the streets of Accra will come alive with flavor, joy, and community spirit during this historic food-sharing celebration. The event aims to bring together food trucks and stalls at key points across the city, ensuring that over 15,000 people can enjoy a hearty meal. The rallying theme, “Wherever You Are, Food Will Find You,” highlights the power of food to unite, nourish, and restore hope.
In a video announcement on her social media pages, Chef Abbys said,
“Millions wake up each day not knowing where their next meal will come from—not because the world lacks food, but because the world needs more compassion, love, and serenity. This World Food Day, we’re changing that story.”
She added that the Big Street Feast is more than feeding people—it’s about creating a movement. “Food is more than survival; it’s love, dignity, and culture. We want everyone to feel the joy of being fed and to share in the spirit of togetherness,” she said.
The event aligns with the global theme “Food is Our Future: Partnerships that Feed the Future,” emphasizing the importance of collaboration in building resilient, sustainable, and food-secure communities.
Chef Abbys was recently named to the 2025 TIME100 list of the world’s most influential people, recognized for using food as a tool for connection and change. Beyond her digital media presence, she leads initiatives that bring people together through shared experiences, demonstrating that food is a powerful medium for impact.
