ENDING POVERTY TOGETHER

ABOUT US
We have worked since 1971 to serve the most vulnerable people on earth through purposeful relief and development. Our methodology is informed by our Christian beliefs that every person has intrinsic value and that it is our responsibility to advocate for the poor and the marginalized.
GIVE
We believe that when communities are trained and equipped to care for their most vulnerable, the entire community is lifted and poverty can be overcome. We serve communities through life-changing resources such as clean water, medical aid, food, equal educational opportunities to girls and boys, vocational training and empowerment in the midst of unimaginable hardships.
PARTNERSHIPS
The world is hungry, but the emptiness goes far beyond the table. The need is physical and spiritual. People hunger for opportunity, starve for resources, and have been stripped of value. These injustices keep us up at night.
NEWS & STORIES
FH has been serving those who are living through unimaginable hardships for fifty years and today, FH works in more than 20 countries around the world providing life-changing resources such as clean water, medical aid, food, education, vocational training, spiritual development and hope.
GET INVOLVED
We’re praising God for your willingness to answer the call and serve a child whom you’ve never even met. Your generosity means another child can grow up healthy and educated. We believe that when we equip a community to care for its most vulnerable members, we can serve everyone and see poverty eliminated.

ACTIVE EMERGENCY

Syria Emergency Response

Lebanon has been struggling with some of the most unimaginable crises on the planet in recent years, including a dire socio-economic situation in the country. On an ongoing basis, Lebanon is dealing with one of the largest refugee populations in the world.

Food for the Hungry (FH) is actively working with our partners to provide relief and meet the urgent needs of the most vulnerable Syrian refugee children and families living in Lebanon.

900,000 REFUGEES FROM SYRIA

are officially hosted in Lebanon. The government estimates 500,000 more live in the country informally

INFLATION RATE IN LEBANON HIT 350%

for food in May 2023 and 269% overall, after a devaluation of the dollar in March

9 out of 10 SYRIAN REFUGEES

in Lebanon now live below the Survival and Minimum Expenditure Basket (SMEB) and are unable to afford essential goods and services

Your generous donation assures that we have the resources needed to continue this life-saving response!

Should funds raised for this effort exceed the budgeted need, remainders will be used in the best possible way to help communities challenged by poverty, injustice and marginalization. FH is accountable before God and you to use gifts wisely. As members of Excellence in Giving and the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability, we also abide by their strict reporting standards.
