Supporting the Global Food Initiative

What is the Global Food Initiative?

The Global Food Initiative (GFI) is a program created by the Church of the Brethren to address hunger and food insecurity around the world. Rooted in the principles of stewardship, justice, and compassion, GFI seeks to empower individuals and communities to achieve long-term food security through sustainable agriculture, education, and innovative solutions. By supporting GFI, we help create opportunities for people to cultivate the resources they need to feed themselves and their families.

Why Support the Global Food Initiative?

• Tackling Hunger at Its Roots: GFI focuses on addressing the systemic causes of hunger by promoting sustainable practices such as community gardens, agricultural training, and resource conservation. This approach ensures that support is not just a temporary solution but a lasting change.
• Empowering Communities: Instead of simply providing aid, GFI invests in the self-sufficiency of individuals and communities. Projects are designed to build skills, provide tools, and create local partnerships, enabling people to take charge of their food supply.
• Global Reach, Local Impact: From rural farming communities in Africa to urban neighborhoods in the United States, GFI funds initiatives that reflect the unique needs of diverse regions. Supporting GFI means your contribution has a ripple effect, bringing hope to communities worldwide.
• Aligned with Faith-Based Values: As a church, we are called to care for those in need and to be stewards of God’s creation. Supporting GFI is a way to put our faith into action by addressing one of humanity’s most pressing challenges.

How Can You Help?

• Pray: Pray for the success of GFI programs and for those affected by food insecurity.
• Donate: Your financial contributions make it possible for GFI to continue its vital work. Every dollar goes toward funding projects that have a direct impact on alleviating hunger.
• Volunteer: Learn about ways you can get involved locally, whether by supporting a GFI-affiliated project or organizing a fundraiser.
• Spread the Word: Share information about GFI with friends and family. Raising awareness is one of the simplest yet most powerful ways to support the cause.
