LifeLines Newsletter

ELCA World Hunger works in the U.S. and around the world to support people who are hungry or living in poverty.

 
LifeLines is the newsletter of ELCA World Hunger and is published three to four times a year. Each issue features examples of ELCA-supported relief and development work around the world. Articles span topics such as simple living, HIV/AIDS, hunger in the United States, and long-term recovery.

Read each newsletter in PDF format here, or if you would like a paper copy you can sign up to be a Hunger Contact and receive both LifeLines and the semi-annual World Hunger Resource Packets or just LifeLines.  Scroll down for recent and past issues.
