Global Food Crisis Fund

The Global Food Crisis Fund (GFCF) is the primary way we assist hungry people in developing food security programs. Whether your gift is an individual contribution, an ongoing 2¢-a-meal collection at the family table, the offering of an entire congregation or camp, or a one-time gift or memorial in honor of a loved one, your support of the Global Food Crisis Fund upholds the biblical command to put the last first and to lift the burden of the oppressed.

For over 20 years the Global Food Crisis Fund has provided grants totaling upwards of $350,000 annually to send seeds, livestock, and tools to help hungry people feed themselves. We invest in small-scale economic development, support efforts to improve diet and health practices, champion soil conservation measures, and promote resources for study and advocacy on hunger issues.

Through the Global Food Crisis Fund, the Church of the Brethren joins other church and community initiatives to live out the call to do justice, to help one's neighbor, and to "draw out your soul to the hungry," as one translation of Isaiah 58:10 puts it.
