	Food & Faith: Food Justice for All #H000118 Donations to this fund, administered by the Presbyterian Hunger Program, will support dynamic initiatives that uphold justice for employees in our food and farming systems, environmentally sustainable practices, and access to fresh, healthy food for all of God's children. Ultimately, the test of our food system is a moral one.

	Hunger & Human Development in the USA #E865703 Hunger and poverty are persistent and growing realities in the US. In the midst of great wealth, children go to bed hungry, elderly people subsist on meager diets and the working poor are unable to make a living adequate to provide sufficient food for their families. The Presbyterian Hunger Program (PHP) approves grants to projects addressing hunger and poverty in the US. These grants enable church and community groups to provide direct food relief and address the underlying causes of hunger. Your gifts will make it possible to reach out to more hungry children, homeless families and communities working to assure that everyone has enough to eat. Current lists of specific projects are available from Presbyterian Hunger Program.

	Hunger Education and Lifestyle Integrity #H400304 Through hunger education, we shall seek to sensitize the church and the public at large to a biblical and theological understanding of hunger issues and to the dimensions of the world hunger crisis. These funds will allow us to develop specific ways in which we can respond, and encourage growth in understanding by providing educational resources and training strategies that lead our members to active participation. Gifts will also support the production of educational resources and implementation of programs that assist our members in moving toward sustainable personal and corporate lifestyles that will restore and protect all of God's creation. We shall foster the equitable sharing of God's gifts of creation and the building of community in order to help meet the critical needs of the majority of the human family that is poor and oppressed.

HAEs assist congregations and other groups to become engaged with the poor in their own communities and in other countries to address immediate needs and long-term solutions. They provide a link with a local, regional and national ecumenical agencies which address issues of direct hunger relief, hunger-related development assistance, public policy advocacy, education and interpretation about hunger and lifestyle issues, including environmental justice. As enablers of others, they provide a "switchboard" for these agencies and the national Presbyterian Hunger Program (PHP) to resource, alert, and mobilize Presbyterians for specific hunger action.
