God’s Word is clear that we are to minister to the poor and needy as part of our Christian lifestyle. Caring for those in need is an opportunity and a privilege as well as an obligation. We must not view it in any other way.

Hunger continues to be one of the greatest problems facing our world today. There are many causes. Natural disasters and human-made catastrophes have a devastating effect on food production. Poverty is increasing once again. Won’t you prayerfully consider how God would have you participate in this important ministry to feed the hungry?

The primary focus of the Hunger Offering is to feed hungry people. This is accomplished by assistance by Southern Baptists throughout the world in their attempt to end malnutrition. Missionaries use human needs projects to help people obtain food and practice good health habits.
