Social Policy
Food for the Hungry works to educate and mobilize Christians to "to do justice, love mercy and walk humbly" with and on behalf of the poor. Working in Washington D.C., our staff enters political arenas and other areas of influence to help the poor in developing countries.
Why should I get involved with FH advocacy?
As an advocate, you’ll be stewarding well the influence and voice God has given you. In reaching out to your areas of influence, such as Facebook, Twitter, church, school or work, or blog—you’ll be helping others to understand the cruelties of poverty and motivate them to take action. You’ll be helping to change the world and end poverty.
