Get Involved:
Gifts to ELCA World Hunger (external link) help support the work of international partners like Lutheran World Relief, The Lutheran World Federation, Church World Service/CROP and global companion churches through ELCA Global Mission.
Great Ideas for Congregations:
Easter chicks at Easter time, what a better time to bless a family in need with the gift of chicks or ducks that can help fight hunger? A chick, starting at just $1, can bring a family with an abundance of protein-rich eggs to eat and sell on the market. At $20, a duck is the best pesticide around–eating insects that harm crops while fertilizing the fields at the same time. Visit God’s Global Barnyard for more information (external link)
