Grace to you and Peace from God our Creator and from our Lord and Savior, Jesus!
There are many people who are hungry in the world. It is our call share with our siblings who may not know where their next meal is coming from.
ELCA World Hunger offers several methods of supporting those who are food insecure around the world. Domestically, ELCA World Hunger offers two grants, Daily Bread grants, and Domestic Hunger Grants.
ELCA World Hunger's Daily Bread Grants support congregations and their partners as they work toward a just world where all are fed. Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) congregations with feeding ministries are eligible to participate. ELCA World Hunger’s Daily Bread Grants are one way our church accompanies communities throughout the United States and Caribbean as they respond to hunger and poverty. These grants provide daily bread for neighbors experiencing hunger by supplementing existing food-based ministries. Daily Bread Grants are for $500.
This year ELCA World Hunger received 1000 applications for Daily Bread Grants and were able to fund over 600 of these very important ministries. All 65 ELCA Synods received at least one Daily Bread Grant.
The Northwest Intermountain Synod received 8 Daily Bread Grants!! Those receiving grants are:
Our Saviour’s in Sunnyside
Wilbur Community Church in Wilbur
Grace in Lewiston
Trinity in Pullman
Emanuel in Ritzville
Emmanuel in Moscow
Lake Chelan in Chelan
Trinity in Nampa
Thank you to these ministries for their support of those who are food insecure in their communities. You are doing God’s work with your hands!
