Children are Hungry … Please Help!

Start your 2023 giving with a gift to rescue children from the threat of hunger.

The world is facing the most severe food shortage in 70 years, and children are most vulnerable. But why?

Effects of the pandemic, severe weather and the Russia-Ukraine war threaten our world with a global food crisis. Now we’re facing the most severe shortage we’ve seen since World War II — and children living in poverty are the most vulnerable and hardest hit. Our church partners see every day how hunger is harming children, stunting their development and keeping them from their full potential. New needs from these partners are already pouring in. As they faithfully serve, they’ll help stabilize their communities in the short term while providing long-term hunger mitigation – all in Jesus’ name.

The impact and reach of world hunger and its effect on children can’t be ignored.

"I remember the day I witnessed a child at the center eat four plates of food and ask for another. We asked him why he was eating like that. His answer broke our heart: 'I’m eating because I don’t know when I’m going to eat again.'"

Pastor Gleydson, Brazil
