Hunger Resources – Engaging forum, discussion, and advocacy resources on our top education and advocacy priority.
For several decades, ending hunger has been our top legislative priority. During that time, we’ve learned a lot and grown in skill and determination. What is unique this year is that our efforts have a receptive administration. Our advocacy is still urgently needed. Keep up with our current efforts on our blog.
“Taking Root” is a superb five-part congregation education program on hunger (look under the “Hunger Education” tab). It is available for three different age levels, primary, middle, h.s. each with very different, well conceived activities, visuals, stories, and great graphic look. Several LPF pastors and lay leaders who have used the program in their congregation have raved about its quality, flexibility, and ability to engage young people.
