Make hunger history
By Rev. David Beckmann
Bread for the World’s members are at the heart of our success— thank you for making this lifesaving work possible.
It says so much that you put your faith into action to speak up for people who are hungry and poor. Your support shows that you believe in Bread’s work and our incredible, committed community that leaves no stone unturned in their efforts to bring about change for people in need.
That’s why today, we ask that you stand with us on the front lines of the fight to end hunger by renewing your membership or joining today.
This year, your membership gift will power our work to:
- Persuade Congress to reauthorize a child nutrition bill that will provide meals for hungry children even when school is out for the summer.
- Advocate tirelessly to improve nutrition and health for mothers and children around the world.
- Mobilize our community to show lawmakers the conviction and power of our values that care for hungry people.
Our committed and growing membership is one of the strongest messages we can send to Congress about the importance of hunger issues to our community. That’s why we need your help: please, join hundreds of your fellow advocates and renew your membership by March 31.
Together, we can make hunger history.
