Recipe for Hope: Responding to the Global Hunger Crisis

It's in the news nearly every day: Food prices are soaring worldwide (more on the crisis). More low-income people in the United States are making trips to food banks, where stocks are quickly depleting. For the world's poorest people in developing countries—who spend up to 80 percent of their income to buy food—the situation is even more devastating.

But you have the power to make a difference in this global hunger crisis. Bread for the World is launching an emergency Recipe for Hope online campaign which will run from Mother's Day through Father's Day.

Each week, an email from Bread will offer the ingredients for a:

Recipe for Despair—more information on the causes of this crisis

Recipe for Hope—specific actions you can take to help end it

It’s easy to feel helpless when you watch people around the world suffering for lack of food.
Join Bread for the World's Recipe for Hope and be part of the solution.
