Bread for the World Institute

The Institute provides policy analysis on hunger and strategies to end it. We educate our advocacy network, opinion leaders, policy makers and the public about hunger in the United States and abroad.

Every year, the Bread for the World Institute publishes an annual report on the state of world hunger, the Hunger Report. As part of the Institute's commitment to anti-hunger education, the report strengthens the anti-hunger movement by analyzing the causes of and solutions to hunger.

Bread for the World

Bread for the World is a collective Christian voice urging our nation’s decision makers to end hunger at home and abroad. By changing policies, programs and conditions that allow hunger and poverty to persist, we provide help and opportunity far beyond the communities in which we live. God’s grace in Jesus Christ moves us to help our neighbors, whether they live in the next house, the next state or the next continent. Food is a basic need, and it is unjust that so many people must go without enough to eat.

We can end hunger in our time. Everyone, including our government, must do their part. With the stroke of a pen, policies are made that redirect millions of dollars and affect millions of lives.

By making our voices heard in Congress, we make our nation’s laws more fair and compassionate to people in need.
