ENDING HUNGER IN AMERICA

Ideas for Further Action
We hope the Study Guide stimulates further interest in
the issues discussed in the Hunger Report. Here are suggestions for activities to engage your group beyond this Study
Guide.
1. Learn from firsthand experience
Find a way for your group to spend time with someone
whose life experience has given him or her personal
knowledge of hunger, poverty, and/or U.S. development
assistance. Also, watch the movies Inequality for All (www.
inequalityforall.com) and A Place at the Table (www.magpictures.com/aplaceatthetable/).
2. Engage with Bread for the World
a. Bread for the World’s Offering of Letters.
Each year, Bread for the World invites churches and
campus groups across the country to take up Offerings of Letters to Congress on issues that are important
to hungry and poor people. The Offering of Letters enables individuals to see their concerns translated
into policies that help hungry and poor people improve their lives. To learn more about Bread for the
World’s Offering of Letters this year, visit www.bread.org/OL
b. Contact your Bread for the World Regional Organizer.
c. Visit us at www.bread.org to read the Bread Blog and Institute Notes blog. Find us on Facebook and
follow us on twitter@bread4theworld.
3. Write to your state or local representative
Write to your representative in the city council, state assembly, or Congress to share your thoughts and
concerns about hunger and poverty.
4. Learn what your denomination or national association is doing related to h ??????????????()???????????????????????????????????????)?????????????????????????!????I????????()???????????????()???????????????????(+??????!????I?????????()?((0
