As you may know, the rising cost of food is devastating many families in our programs. And experts are predicting that food prices will not return to previous levels.
We are doing everything we can to support Compassion-assisted families during this difficult time. To help provide immediate food supplies to Compassion families and children, we have created the Global Food Crisis Fund. We are also working hard to identify long-term solutions to help bridge the widening gap between families living in poverty and affordable food. Despite the current economy, we are still seeing God’s faithful hand of blessing on this ministry
Please be in prayer for all of the children and families affected by the global food crisis!
