ADVOCACY

Join us in advocating for the most vulnerable.

Inspired by our Christian faith, we build relationships with policymakers and government leaders in Washington, DC and around the world. Together, we champion investments in global relief and development programs that meet urgent, immediate needs and provide sustainable solutions that create long-term resilience. We engage public servants to prioritize the needs of the most vulnerable, and work to influence legislation, policies, systems, and attitudes that impact global poverty and injustice. Through these relationships, we seek to ensure communities challenged by poverty, injustice, and marginalization have the agency and resources necessary to be resilient and flourish.

YOUR VOICE HAS IMPACT

Advocacy isn’t limited to those in government, lobbyists, or those with a large platform.  Advocacy is responding to God’s call to care for people who are poor and marginalized by using your influence to speak on their behalf.  There is power in your voice and when you use it to petition those in positions of power, you help shift policy and change public opinions around the importance of addressing poverty globally.  When you advocate for the poor and the marginalized, you’re a catalyst for change.  You can help to start conversations, shine a light on the needs of others, and strengthen the message of hope.

Volunteering

Volunteering at FH events and tours all over the United States is an amazing way to advocate for the world’s most vulnerable people. You’ll have the chance to engage people in the message of hope by inviting them to sponsor a child.

Prayer

No matter your position, you have influence among your friends, family, coworkers, neighbors and extended community. One of the biggest ways that you can leverage that influence on behalf of the vulnerable is by sharing stories of impact and connecting others to Food for the Hungry.
