ELCA World Hunger has been at work for more than 50 years, addressing root causes of hunger around the world and here in the United States through innovative, sustainable projects. Our goal is to raise $1,020 for an Abundant Community gift, which will provide a community with a goat, a rooster, a cow, three chicks, seeds and gardening tools, honeybees, three fruit-tree seedlings, farmers’ field school and a community garden. Help us reach this goal to do our part for World Food Day!
