Write to Congress
Confronting the problem of hunger can seem overwhelming.
What can one person do? Plenty.
Bread for the World members write personal letters and emails and meet with our members of Congress.
This outpouring of concern sends a powerful message to our political leaders and helps us move closer to our goal of ending hunger.
Bread's 2012 Offering of Letters campaign focuses on creating a circle of protection around programs for hungry and poor people. Within this broader campaign are four mini-campaigns that address specific legislative topics before Congress.
Our Mini-Campaigns
Domestic Nutrition Assistance
Hunger is a serious problem in America. Nearly 49 million Americans—including more than one in five children—live in households that struggle to put food on the table.
Tax Credits for Low-Income Families
When times get tough in low-income households, the food budget is usually the first thing families cut. We can’t end hunger as long as people lack the financial resources they need to put food on the table.
Poverty-Focused Foreign Assistance
The number of people living in extreme poverty has fallen by 400 million since 1990. This is mostly the result of much hard work by poor people themselves, but U.S. foreign assistance has played an important role.
