People who are starving can only focus on one thing: where to find their next meal. Forcing them into decisions they never thought they would have to make.
That's why food plays a vital role in addressing issues of extreme poverty and oppression.
When people can finally access nutritious food, their bodies can heal and grow. Their minds can be free to focus on education, developing vocational skills, or caring for their families, allowing them to avoid the pitfalls of a desperate decision driven by hunger.
A meal is not just about meeting an immediate need–though that’s still critical. Giving meals serves as a bridge that connects those we serve to long-term solutions for healing, hope, and freedom.
Let’s end the burden of hunger.
