Hope Packs

The lack of simple supplies like pencils and a notebook can keep a child from attending school. When children go to school, they have hope. And their community is transformed. Food for the Hungry distributes school supplies as one of many measures for bringing God’s hope to children. Your church or group can share this hope with children living in poverty by assembling HOPE Packs. Click here to find out more about Hope Packs.

Change for Life

Through Change for Life, nickels, dimes and quarters will bring hope to those suffering from the AIDS crisis, one of the most severe health problems the world has ever faced. When you get involved with Change for Life, Food for the Hungry will provide your church, Sunday School class, workplace or other group with small containers to collect spare coins for six weeks. As the containers fill up, the accumulation of pocket change will have a big impact:

• Supporting orphans and vulnerable children
• Reaching youth with Bible-based abstinence and faithfulness messages
• Teaching infected women how to prevent mother-to-child transmission
• Providing care for people living with HIV/AIDS
• Giving vulnerable families income-generating skills.

It’s easy to coordinate Change for Life, and it will be a great encouragement to your group to see how their small change can make such a big change in the fight against AIDS!

Hunger Banquet

Many Americans do not know the extent to which hunger is a life-and-death struggle to most of the world's people. A Hunger Banquet helps you teach through firsthand experience. You will answer such questions as:

• Who are the world’s hungry?
• How does God care for the poor?
• Why are people hungry?
• Is Christian action important?
• What does the Bible say about the poor and the hungry?
• Your Hunger Banquet can have a lasting impact.

Your group will experience world conditions in a way most Americans never will. The discussion and Bible study provided with your Hunger Banquet kit help your group learn how they minister to the poor. Through a single meal, your group can:

• Experience the disparity in world food distribution
• Better understand God’s love and care for the poor
• Increase their awareness of Christian missions
• Commit to effective stewardship of church and personal resources
• Get involved in local and international missions
