You give them something to eat.
Luke 9:13
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat.
Matthew 25:35
There is a saying that an empty stomach has no ears. How can we expect a starving or malnourished person to be interested in anything we have to say if we aren’t also showing concern for their physical well-being? The truth is, Jesus’ ministry was filled with meeting both spiritual and physical needs–and doing both at the same time whenever possible. He expects His followers to do the same, and so this our mission.
When it comes to meeting physical needs, Feed the Hunger primarily equips our US and overseas partners with nutritious meal packets. These come in six-serving bags that can be fixed in boiling water individually or combined with many packets in large pots to feed the masses. The great news about this outreach is that it requires thousands of volunteers like you to get involved and produce these meals at events called Packathons.
While food is the point of the spear in our efforts to fight physical hunger, we seek to help those in need in other practical ways. This includes clean water projects, aid and relief outreach after natural disasters, micro-enterprise initiatives, and provision of basic transportation.
