About Bread for the world
Bread for the World is a non-profit organization that has been working tirelessly to end hunger and poverty in the United States and around the world. The organization was founded on Christian principles, with a mission to provide help and opportunity to those who are struggling with hunger and poverty.
The organization believes that everyone deserves access to nutritious food, regardless of their income or social status. To achieve this goal, Bread for the World works closely with policymakers at all levels of government to change policies, programs, and conditions that allow hunger and poverty to persist.
One of Bread for the World's primary goals is to ensure that every child in America has access to healthy food. The organization advocates for policies such as school breakfast programs, summer meal programs, and SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits that help families put food on the table.
Bread for the World also works on global issues related to hunger and poverty. The organization advocates for policies that support sustainable agriculture practices in developing countries, as well as increased funding for international aid programs.
In addition to its advocacy work, Bread for the World also provides resources and education materials about hunger-related issues. The organization offers Bible studies, prayer guides, fact sheets, videos, webinars on topics such as food insecurity in America or global malnutrition.
Bread for the World's impact can be seen through its successful advocacy efforts over many years. For example:
- In 2018 Congress passed a Farm Bill which included provisions supported by Bread members: protecting SNAP from harmful cuts; increasing funding levels; improving program integrity.
- In 2015 Congress passed legislation reauthorizing U.S.-funded global nutrition programs through 2020.
- In 2009 President Obama signed into law historic legislation expanding access to health care coverage including Medicaid expansion which helps low-income people afford health care services including mental health treatment.
