Public Policy & Advocacy
One Spirit. One Will. Zero Poverty.
Through Bread for the World's 2006 Offering of Letters, One Spirit. One Will. Zero Poverty, people of faith and conscience will join together to urge our leaders to fulfill their promises to the world's hungry and poor people, urging Congress to contribute $5 billion to poverty-focused development assistance.
Hunger-Free Communities Act
In 2005, through Bread for the World's Make Hunger History Campaign, we worked stop Congress from pushing hundreds of thousands of hardworking people and their children off the Food Stamp Program. We also built a strong bipartisan list of Congressional cosponsors of the Hunger-Free Communities Act. This act would help build the political will to end hunger in our country and provide funding to local and religious groups to work together to end hunger in their communities. Congress has not yet completed consideration of this bill.
