Focus on Hunger

Whether you feel excited or disappointed with the election results, we know one thing for sure: hunger does not end when elections do.

In a recent poll, half of voters said they live paycheck to paycheck; four out of five think hunger in America is still a problem. But even with the current financial crisis, three out of four voters are willing to spend additional tax dollars to cut hunger in half by 2015.

Clearly, we have a huge task. Hunger will only end when we change policies, programs, and conditions that allow hunger and poverty to persist.

So get involved! Push your president, governors, city council-members, church leaders, and school clubs to work to make sure we all have the food we need. See Bread for the World, Alliance to End Hunger, LPF's hunger resources.
