A Video Message from
Presiding Bishop Mark S. Hanson

"There are more hungry Americans now than in the past 15 years. In this harsh economy, families are hurting. They are hungry…Your gift to ELCA World Hunger could mean more than it has ever before."
Thanks to a group of generous donors, now through Dec. 31, 2010, all gifts from individuals will be automatically matched, dollar for dollar, up to $250,000. Give now and double your gift to ELCA World Hunger. Here’s how you can help:
-

Give over the phone by calling 800-638-3522.
-
Encourage your congregation to have a special offering on behalf of ELCA World Hunger.

Pray that we do all we can to make sure no one goes hungry, here or around the world.
Spread the word to friends and family.
