We can end hunger in our time. But doing it depends on people like you getting involved. When you raise your voice and urge your nation’s decision makers to change policies, programs, and conditions that allow hunger and poverty to persist, you help build the political will to end hunger. When your voice is joined with others, it is amplified.
Together, we can change lives and, in the process, be changed ourselves.
When you become a member of Bread for the World, you strengthen our collective Christian voice to end hunger and bear witness to God’s love and compassion for all people in need.

We are moved by God’s grace in Jesus Christ
To work for justice for hungry people.
They may be in the next house.
Or in the next country.
No matter where they live, they are our neighbors.
And we have the power to help.
Charity alone is not enough.
We must urge our government to make fair decisions
So struggling families can provide for their children.
We must write personal letters and emails to Congress
And engage our churches, campuses and other organizations.
We must change laws and structures that allow poverty to persist.
When we turn our faith into action, God uses our voices.
Again and again, we win help and opportunity.
Two fish become many.
Five loaves become enough to feed a multitude.
God is moving in our time
To end hunger,
And we are part of this great liberation.
It is our mission to help our neighbors. Wherever they live.
They are hungry.
And we are Bread for the World.
"So faith by itself, if it has no works,
is dead."
“As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him and established in faith.” These words from Colossians 2:6 remind us of the faith that is active in love for our neighbors.

In 2017, 11.8 percent of households in the U.S.—40 million people—were food-insecure, meaning that they were unsure at some point during the year about how they would provide for their next meal.
