This advocacy organization is dedicated to giving Christians a collective voice in urging our nation’s policymakers to take action in ending hunger around the world.
(Updated October 2018)
Bread for the World’s grassroots advocacy efforts account for most of the constituent lobbying done in the United States on behalf of the overseas hungry. According to a recent World Bank Report, “In the contemporary United States, few can rival the voice and energy of Bread for the World, a citizens’ group inspired by its Christian faith to lead the cause to end hunger.” A sister organization, Bread for the World Institute, devotes itself to educating policymakers, opinion leaders, and the general public on global hunger issues via careful policy analysis and strategies research. Together, these two organizations’ education and advocacy efforts have had a significant impact on the United States government’s role in addressing world hunger.
Though financial donations help these organizations to make greater impact, what Bread for the World really wants is for you to add your voice to that of many thousands of other concerned Christians; see http://www.bread.org/about.
