Voting is Christian stewardship. Our Christian faith compels us to elect wise leaders who will uphold justice and the common good, especially for people who are poor and needy (Psalm 72:12-14).

This election season, we have a unique opportunity to help put our goal of ending hunger by 2030 within reach. One of the best times to raise the issues of hunger and poverty is during election campaigns. We want candidates to know that we will vote for those who make ending hunger and poverty priorities during this election season. “I Vote to End Hunger” is Bread’s campaign to put hunger and poverty on the agenda in the 2016 congressional and presidential elections.

Find out how you can be a part of the campaign with our I Vote to End Hunger Webinar Series launching August 11, 2016. Register for one of our upcoming webinars to learn how you can be the most effective advocate this election cycle.
