What if one letter could help feed a child?
On Sunday, May 3, we’re joining congregations across the country in Bread for the World’s Offering of Letters — a nationwide movement that transforms worship into action. After the service, we’ll gather to write letters to our lawmakers, adding our voices to a chorus calling for just, effective policies that address hunger at home and around the world.
Bread for the World is a Christian advocacy organization with a clear and urgent mission: urging U.S. decision makers to pursue a world without hunger. Decades of persistent advocacy have helped triple poverty-focused development assistance, channeling resources into education, job training, and sustainability efforts that create lasting change.
The need is real, and it’s close to home. In Indiana, 41% of jobs don’t pay a living wage — a leading driver of childhood and family hunger. Globally, one in ten people goes to bed hungry every night. These are our neighbors, and they’re waiting for the kind of faithful, prophetic action that Bread for the World believes is central to Christian discipleship.
This spring, Bread’s letter-writing focus is squarely on policies that end hunger both here and abroad. Writing a letter may feel like a small thing, but when thousands of congregations speak together, lawmakers listen.
Join us on May 3. After worship, we’ll provide everything you need to write and sign your letter. It takes just a few minutes, but it’s a meaningful way we can live out our call to justice, compassion, and the kind of shared abundance the Gospel envisions.
Because advocating for daily bread — for everyone — is itself an act of faith.
