Hunger doesn't take a vacation—and right now, 1 in 5 children in the U.S. is at risk of hunger.

The impacts of childhood hunger are far-reaching. As the costs of food, healthcare, and other everyday essentials continue to rise, more families are forced to make difficult choices.

Give to our School's Out Campaign today and help support children experiencing hunger this summer: https://t.co/xvxrENRp1O

Freedom is worth celebrating.

On Juneteenth, we honor the strength, resilience, and joy of Black communities, and the generations whose vision continues to move us toward a more just and abundant table for all.

Summer break means something different when you don’t know where your next meal is coming from.

That's why we're launching our School's Out Campaign with a goal of raising $10,000 to support children experiencing hunger.

Your gift today helps us advocate for SNAP, WIC, and school and summer nutrition programs while supporting children and families facing hunger during summer break and beyond.

We give thanks for Food for Peace, the United States’ flagship international food aid program. But we also grieve recent changes to the program that will leave some of the world’s most acutely hungry people—including communities in Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, and the West Bank and Gaza—at risk of losing access to vital assistance.

We pray for our neighbors who continue to face extreme hunger and hardship but who are no longer eligible to receive this aid.

Please join us in prayer: https://t.co/bJv7fVqpIc

The forecast called for rain, but advocates showed up anyway. ☔

More than 200 meetings. Hundreds of stories shared. One call to end hunger.

Yesterday, advocates from across the country met with members of Congress and their staff, urging lawmakers to support legislation that addresses the root causes of hunger.

This is more than a Summit. It’s people coming together, raising their voices, and calling for change.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Capitol Hill and helped make our Day of Action a success!

[Bread for the World @bread4theworld]

Today people of faith across the country are raising our voices as part of Bread for the World’s Day of Action with one key message for lawmakers: We believe it’s possible to end hunger in our lifetime.

Right now, hundreds of advocates are on Capitol Hill as part of the 2026 Advocacy Summit asking Congress to fully fund and strengthen SNAP, WIC, and global nutrition and health programs. These programs provide critical food and health resources to children and families in the U.S. and in every corner of the world.

Join us in amplifying their voices! Email your members of Congress now and help us strengthen these essential programs

Take action now, then invite a friend to do the same!

Yesterday marked the first day of the 2026 Advocacy Summit!

Advocates from across the country came together to discuss the realities of hunger in their communities and the policies that can help end it. The day featured inspiring conversations, a keynote address from Eugene Cho, and opportunities for the next generation of advocates to learn and lead.

Today, advocates are taking those conversations to Capitol Hill.

Follow along and learn how you can join our Day of Action!

[Bread for the World @bread4theworld]

Climate change and hunger are deeply connected. 🌎

When droughts, floods, and disasters disrupt food systems, nutritious food becomes harder to access for families around the world.

This #WorldEnvironmentDay, read insights from our Climate & Nutrition Symposium on building a healthier, more resilient future: https://t.co/u2eKbgh7Sy

The Farm Bill is moving to the Senate and there’s still time to strengthen programs that help end hunger.

In this update, Bread for the World Director of Government Relations Bob Powers breaks down where the bill stands, what is strong, what concerns remain, and how advocates can take action — including Bread’s call to delay the SNAP State Cost Share provision in the Senate’s version of the Farm Bill.

At Bread for the World’s 23rd Gala to End Hunger, Cardinal Sean O’Malley reminded us that hunger grows when people are ignored or forgotten.

Inspired by Pope Francis, he called us to choose compassion, care for our neighbors, and speak up for justice.

Take action with Bread for the World and urge Congress to support people experiencing hunger in the U.S. and around the world: https://t.co/PMXE1GUkkF

Love looks like a lot of things.

It looks like early mornings, packed lunches, and making sure everyone else eats first.

This Mother’s Day, we honor the ways mothers and caregivers show up again and again with care that sustains.

Happy Mother’s Day 💛

Offering of Letters is how we raise our collective voice to advocate to end hunger.

Congress listens when constituents speak, and every letter is a testament to the belief that hunger is solvable.

While the bipartisan passage of the Farm Bill in the House of Representatives provides meaningful support for some critical food and nutrition initiatives, this legislation was a missed opportunity for several key programs that reduce hunger. At Bread for the World, we are committed to continuing our advocacy for an effective Farm Bill so no one is left behind.

With all that is happening around the world, it can be easy to lose sight of the ongoing challenges of families facing food insecurity. People are now beginning to experience the impacts of cuts to SNAP from H.R. 1.

We pray for families who rely on SNAP to stretch their grocery budgets, but whose access to that support has changed. Join us in prayer: https://t.co/2VRMsR5yCe

Bread for the World was proud to cohost a bipartisan Food for Peace Reception this week alongside the Interfaith Working Group on Foreign Assistance, celebrating the members of Congress and multifaith partners behind a program that has delivered lifesaving food assistance to millions for over 70 years. Food for Peace reflects the best of who we are, responding to hunger with action, compassion, and global leadership.

We’re especially grateful to @RepMann and @RepJimCosta for their continued bipartisan support.

Join us in thanking Congress for funding Food for Peace in the FY26 budget and prioritizing programs that help feed our neighbors around the world: https://t.co/Pp3YqWt0qZ
