Because:

• More than 854 million people in the world go hungry.
• In developing countries nearly 16 million children die every year from preventable and treatable causes. Sixty percent of these deaths are from hunger and malnutrition.
• In the United States, 11.7 million children live in households where people have to skip meals or eat less to make ends meet. That means one in ten households in the U.S. are living with hunger or are at risk of hunger.

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

Bread for the World Chapters: meet on a regular basis and study issues concerning hunger and poverty in the U.S. and around the world; create action plans to reach out to local, state, and national elected officials; create programs to reach out to other churches, community groups and campuses to become involved in the movement to end hunger.
