In the halls of Congress, as lobbyists seek personal and commercial gain, who will speak up for the hungry?

Bread for the World is a collective Christian voice urging our state and our nation’s decision makers to end hunger at home and abroad.

What We Do
We can end hunger in our state and in our world, but churches and charities can’t do it all; our government must also do its part. Working through churches, campuses, and other organizations, Bread informs and equips people to advocate for local and federal legislation that will help end hunger and poverty.

See sources of Indiana food assistance by county or congressional district in dynamic pie charts. Requires Microsoft Excel. 
Here in Marion County, Indiana, the majority of food assistance going to families is not from pantries, church meals, or local non-profits.

​The majority of assistance keeping these families afloat is from SNAP (formerly food stamps) and school meals, both of which are governmental programs whose budgets are constantly at risk.

It is Bread's goal to ensure that Congress continues to invest in these programs that reduce hunger and poverty right here in Indiana. And you can help.
"Bread for the World members are not most folks. When it comes to anti-hunger advocacy, we don't check the opt-out box because the policy is complex or the numbers seem daunting. We don't turn to other issues because partisanship has heated up, legislation is blocked up, and people are fed up.”
— Amelia Kegan, Bread for the World senior policy analyst
"Bread for the World
is the preeminent voice for the hungry in the halls
of Congress." 
​- Mr. Jim Morris, former Executive Director, UN World Food Programme
