Offering of Letters: March 2 and 3
Every day, millions of people in the United States and around the world feed and support their families through lifesaving programs funded by our government. We are making progress toward the end of hunger, but we live in challenging times. In the United States, 1 in 8 Americans lives with the risk of hunger, including approximately 13 million children. Too many Americans still struggle to put food on the table. We are called to raise our voices to urge our leaders in Congress to protect programs for people who struggle with hunger, to sustain the food assistance and child nutrition programs that are a lifeline to millions of Americans—and that help children do better in school and in life. By raising your voice through Bread for the World’s 2019 Offering of Letters: For Such a Time as This, you can urge Congress to continue investments in programs that improve the lives of people struggling with hunger in the United States and around the world. Please stop by our tables in the Gathering Space on March 2 and 3 to add your voice to this effort. – Justice and Peace Ministry
