PW’s Offering of Letters
October 2, 2022 @ 12:15 pm - 1:30 pm
Presbyterian Women is hosting an Offering of Letters in support of the Global Food Security Reauthorization Act of 2022 following Sanctuary worship on World Communion Sunday, October 2, in the McKelvy Room.
First introduced in 2008, the Act provides the U.S. government with a comprehensive strategy to fight hunger and malnutrition, promote nutrition among pregnant women and young children, build stronger agricultural infrastructures, and prioritize women smallholder farmers.
The Act has been at work through a program called Feed the Future. Working with local partners in some of the world’s poorest countries, Feed the Future has helped:
- Prevent 3.4 million children from stunting and malnutrition,
- Brought 5.2 million families out of hunger, and
- Lifted 23.4 million people out of poverty globally.
Our Offering of Letters will urge our senators and representatives to support the Global Food Security Reauthorization Act to fund Feed the Future through 2028.
Presbyterian Women will be available after worship to provide assistance.
