ENDING HUNGER STARTS WITH THE CHILD
Help us take that message to your church with Hunger Sunday!
Register TodayWHAT IS HUNGER SUNDAY?
Hunger Sunday is a nation-wide day in partnership with Food for the Hungry to spread awareness about child sponsorship.
We’d love to see all our Church Partners unify across the country to celebrate this day together. However, if this conflicts with your church schedule we’re happy to help you select another day.
Join us in the conversation by using #HungerSunday on your social media platforms to extend awareness beyond your immediate network!

WHY CHILD SPONSORSHIP?
When you sponsor a child, you not only walk with that child, but with their entire community. Through child sponsorship, Food for the Hungry actively partner with churches, leaders, and families to build transformational relationships, usher justice, and renew communities so God’s purpose is revealed in each person we serve.
We seek to end ALL forms of human poverty by going into the hard places and closely walking with the world’s most vulnerable people. Children who are sponsored with Food for the Hungry are at the core of what drives community development.
Can you give me an example?
John lives in the Philippines. He was eight years old when he became a sponsored child with FH. His parents work hard, but still have a hard time providing for their three children. Now, at age 11 John attends school and other Bible classes. John is also learning to play the guitar with the help of a youth volunteer and he hopes to serve on the worship team at his church in the near future.
GIVE YOUR CHURCH THE OPPORTUNITY
To live out the direct call of God from Micah 6:8 — “What does the Lord require of you? To do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with God.”
We hope you’ll join us in furthering the message of hope through feeding the physical and spiritual needs of the world’s most vulnerable children.
