Bread for the World 2019 Offering of Letters to Congress “Better Nutrition, Better Tomorrow” will be at Wednesday Night Live March 20.
Union Church is a Covenanted Member of Bread for the World and each year we participate in the Offering of Letters, along with churches and organizations throughout the United States, to lobby Congress on behalf of the world’s malnourished children and adults. Please plan now to come to WNL on March 20 and write to your Senators and Representative. All materials will be provided, along with information on this year’s campaign.
According to a United Nations report, for the third year in a row, global hunger has increased. Drought, conflict, and poverty have brought about near-famine conditions in the Middle East, Africa and Central America. We must urge Congress to pass a resolution to make maternal and child nutrition a priority by boosting funding for programs that have been proven effective.
In 2018 our Offering of Letters helped win bi-partisan passage of the Global Food Security Reauthorization Act and the Farm Bill.
Also, on March 20 we will have locally-made and donated pottery bowls for sale as part of the campus “Empty Bowls” event that same evening. The proceeds from the annual sale of the bowls support local Food Banks.
