Hunger Leader's Ideas
This is a place where synod hunger leaders like you can share your great ideas for fund-raisers, presentations, and other ways you lift up and raise money for the World Hunger Appeal. We want to hear from you! Send your ideas to Nancy Michaelis so we can post them here for others to use. [Please note, we will honor what you send in its submitted format as much as possible, though all material is subject to review or editing by World Hunger staff.]  Information is organized by synod and lists the name of the person who submitted the material.
