PERFORATION FOR SUCH A TIME AS...

2
An Overview Every day, millions of people in the United States and around the world feed and support their families in part because of lifesaving programs funded by our government. We are making progress toward the end of hunger, but we live in challenging times. Our gains are increasingly vulnerable due to the actions and inactions of governing officials. Our great democracy gives all Americans access to powerful decision makers. Just as Esther in the Old Testament was called to be an advocate with the king of Persia for her threatened people, we are called to speak up with leaders in Congress to protect vital programs for people who struggle with hunger and poverty. We must call on our leaders to ensure that all people, regardless of where they live, have the opportunity to reach their God-given potential. The actions that Congress takes have far-reaching impact on the lives of millions of people in the United States and around the world living in hunger. The federal budget is the investment of our tax dollars. This investment must reflect our nation’s priorities and values. bread.org/ol BREAD FOR THE WORLD’S 2018 FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS OFFERING OF LETTERS: Date Time Place BREAD FOR THE WORLD'S 2018 OFFERING OF LETTERS bread.org/ol PERFORATION FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS Date Time Place 425 3rd Street SW, Suite 1200, Washington, DC 20024 1-800-822-7323 425 3rd Street SW, Suite 1200, Washington, DC 20024 1-800-822-7323
