Bread for the World Offering of Letters

Bread for the World is a nationwide faith-based movement that seeks justice for the world’s hungry people by lobbying our nation’s decision makers.

Bread for the World will be conducting an Offering of Letters Workshop on April 22, 2007 at St. Marks Catholic Church in Independence, Missouri. St. Mark’s is located at 3736 Lee’s Summit Road. The workshop will be held at 2 p.m.

In this year’s Offering of Letters, church congregations across the nation will urge Congress to take the opportunity presented by the reauthorization of the Farm Bill to increase its capacity to reduce hunger and poverty in the United States. The Farm Bill includes vital nutrition safety nets that our government provides for those most in need. For instance, the School Lunch Program and Food Stamp Program are part of the Farm Bill.

Please send a representative from your church or organization who would like to be or is involved in addressing hunger
