Although the worldwide recession appears to be letting up in the U.S. and Canada, in many developing countries it has barely begun and the impact will be devastating, says an MCC spokesperson.
People everywhere should have enough food to live active, healthy lives. Yet high and rising food prices are making basic food staples unaffordable for hundreds of millions of people all over the world and pushing people into deeper levels of poverty.
We invite you to explore the root causes of hunger, to help MCC share food, a gift from God – and to consider your own food choices. More about food
Millions of the world’s poorest people don’t have enough to eat and the numbers are rapidly growing. MCC is responding where the needs are greatest. Learn more.
Consider your food choices
Through resources such as the World Community Cookbooks – including Simply in Season, Extending the Table and More-With-Less Cookbook – MCC invites people to explore their own patterns of eating and consumption and work to support food justice and small farmers. Sign up for a weekly recipe.
In a tradition that dates to 1946, MCC workers take a mobile meat canner to U.S. states and Canadian provinces each October through April. With the help of volunteers in each community, the effort annually provides some 500,000 cans of meat for hungry people around the world. Learn more.
The seminar will examine the short- and long-term causes of the rise in world food prices and resulting instability and explore how Christians can respond.
