Hunger Resources

1. Hunger Volunteer Training & Support Project

Faith-based efforts to alleviate hunger, poverty, and homelessness have been challenged in recent years by the economic downturn. This project aims to help by offering resources, activities, workshops, and mentoring to support program volunteers and strengthen congregation involvement.

3. Hunger Education Resources

Engaging and accessible resources for individuals and small groups:

“Taking Root” is a superb five-part congregation education program on hunger (look under the “Hunger Education” tab).
It is available for three different age levels, primary, middle, h.s. each with very different, well conceived activities, visuals, stories, and great graphic look. Several LPF pastors and lay leaders who have used the program in their congregation have raved about its quality, flexibility, and ability to engage young people.
