As people of faith, we are called to give of our time, talent, and treasure for a greater purpose. Bread for the World invites you to use your voice to help end hunger.
Every year, Bread for the World (BFW) organizes churches, community organizations, and people of faith from across the country to write letters and emails to their members of Congress who have the power to impact the policies and programs that can end hunger.
Your letter matters. Your letter, joined with the voices of thousands of advocates across the country, is an expression of faith and hope, urging U.S. decision makers to pursue a world without hunger. God uses these letters to change hearts and minds, and again and again, Bread for the World wins help and opportunity for our neighbors who face hunger.
Millions of children in the U.S. live in households facing food insecurity. Globally, almost 45 million children suffer from severe hunger, and nearly half of all preventable deaths among children under five are attributed to malnutrition. Child hunger is a local and a global problem, but together, we can make a difference.
Despite progress over the past few decades, the world continues to lose more than two million young children to malnutrition every year.1
In 2023, USAID nutrition programs reached more than 39 million women and children globally with critical nutrition interventions.
Ask your senators and representatives to fully fund and strengthen the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and provide robust funding for global nutrition programs.
