Bread For the World


Bread for the World is a collective Christian voice urging our nation's decision makers to end hunger at home and abroad. By changing policies, programs and conditions that allow hunger and poverty to persist, we provide help and opportunity far beyond the communities where we live.

When you join Bread for the World your voice becomes more effective. When writing or calling your members of Congress, you will be joining other Bread for the World members across the country who are also advocating for hungry and poor people.

Bread for the World members make a difference! Year after year, Bread members have won far-reaching changes for hungry and poor people. The U.S. government has doubled funding for effective programs that help developing countries in Africa and other poor parts of the world, and this would not have happened without the persistent advocacy of Bread for the World members. Bread for the World has also helped to strengthen the national nutrition programs, assisting millions of the families in this country who struggle to feed their children.

Join Bread's effective anti-hunger efforts!
