Take Steps to End Hunger - Locally and Globally!
Statistics show that a staggering 10% of the global population are going hungry. The pandemic, economic hardship, climate change, ongoing conflicts, and natural disasters are just some of the factors contributing to wide-scale food insecurity. Closer to home, 1 in 7 Canadians are food insecure. Food banks and other food-related programs served over 5 million Canadians per month last year.
These numbers are expected to rise in 2023.
What can we do?
Together with your help, the Canadian Baptist family – Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada, l’Union des Églises Baptistes Francophone du Canada, Canadian Baptists of Ontario and Quebec, Canadian Baptists of Western Canada, and CBM – has set a goal of $100,000 to help ensure people have access to food in 12 different countries, including right here at home. Your support will feed people in Thailand, India, the Philippines, DR Congo, South Sudan, El Salvador, Rwanda, Kenya, Lebanon, Pakistan, Ukraine, AND Canada.
