Dear John,

‌

Throughout the Gospels, Jesus feeds people who are hungry, and he asks us to do likewise. At a time when nearly 800 million people face chronic hunger, it can be hard to know how to do this in a meaningful way.

‌

One of the most effective ways to help our sisters and brothers access nutritious food is through advocacy. Did you know you can send a personalized email to your members of Congress in only five minutes to advocate for programs that address hunger?

‌

❗️Right now, legislation is being considered in the Senate that would effectively end critical U.S. programs designed to fight global hunger and build communities’ resilience—putting 3 million people at risk of extreme hunger. Your voice can help ensure lifesaving food assistance continues for our global family members most in need.

Hunger is on the rise, but through our united prayer and action, we can reverse this trend and build a world in which all people have enough nutritious food to thrive.

‌

Prayerfully,
