Programs

  • Offering of Letters Program

    Public Education: The Offering of Letters (OL) is Bread for the World's primary activism tool and on-ramp. The OL is a powerful event concept, where churches and community groups learn about hunger-related concerns and organize letter-writing to educate their Congressional representatives about policies to end hunger. These letters and emails from congregations, campuses, and community groups help inspire Congressional leaders to change policies and programs to reduce hunger in the U.S. and around the world. (To be continued in Schedule O)Bread supported the successes described here through sustained education, collaboration, and public witness. Bread worked alongside more than seventy-five partner organizations to build awareness and political will for policies that address hunger and provide emergency assistance.

  • Outreach and Advocacy Network

    Outreach and Advocacy: Our bipartisan network includes more than 320,000 people and churches who are active in every congressional district. Bread's network includes individuals, churches, congregations, parishes, and partners who are motivated to pray, act, and give for an end to hunger. Our network engages digitally, in person, and through prayer to achieve remarkable policy impact and legislative victories. (To be continued in Schedule O)In 2024, Bread saw remarkable policy impact and legislative victories, along with high engagement on our digital channels. We hosted 24 virtual webinars, engaging a total of 2,028 registrants. Our advocacy efforts and OL events with individual members, churches, and faith partners in 2024 resulted in 39,164 letters written to Congress on hunger-related issues and 433 visits with Congressional offices in DC and the field. Throughout 2024, Bread staff and volunteers worked to build the newly launched Nourish Our Future campaign seeking to reduce child hunger. Over 1,400 Bread members and partners shaped the campaign's policy priorities through 101 listening sessions. In June, Bread gathered 227 members and advocates in Washington, D.C. for our annual Advocacy Summit. As part of the Summit, we held a Latino consultation, a Pan-African convening, and a Hill Day to educate and inform advocates about policies that address hunger and poverty.
