For those who do not know, World Zombie Day is an annual event to coordinate Zombie Walks and similar events to collect food for the needy, and this year’s WZD is tomorrow:

World Zombie Day, a day when all fans of zombie culture can join together in an international effort to alleviate world hunger. At all World Zombie Day zombie walks, participating living dead are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item donations for local food banks.

Now, the ZRC is not sure about the ‘living dead’ moniker, and some of the ‘Zombie Rules of Conduct’ for WZD are, quite frankly, a bit demeaning and accusatory to the Differently Animated. Nevertheless, on the whole we have to support such a civic-minded attempt to change the public perception of Zombies from ‘ravenous brain eaters’ to ‘Undead friends helping out during hard times.’

That would be a substantial improvement.

So check out the list of cities participating in WZD and consider hitting up an event in your area!
