We have all recently sat at heavy-laden Thanksgiving tables. In a few weeks we will repeat the scene at Christmas dinner. How many people in the world don't have enough to eat, and what can we do about it?

ELCA World Hunger responds to hunger and poverty in the United States and around the world by addressing root causes. Through a comprehensive program of relief, development, education, and advocacy, people are connected to the resources they need to lift themselves out of poverty. Between 70-75 percent of ELCA World Hunger funds are spent internationally, and 20-25 percent are spent domestically.
