Partnerships
"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." - African Proverb

When we partner with other organizations that share a mutual vision and mission to empower the poor, we’re able to expand our work to reach more communities and help more people escape the generational cycle of poverty.

Churches
North American Churches and Groups of Faith
Churches all over the country are actively helping Food for the Hungry (FH) end poverty through a variety of partnerships.
We regularly partner with churches to help communities tackle their biggest obstacles. Combining your church’s heart for the poor and FH’s global experience, we can connect you to the community and project that needs your help the most.
Give your church the opportunity to live out the direct call of God from Micah 6:8: “He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?”
