In Lynden, Wash., Hope Lutheran Church’s Backpack Buddies ministry increased its work to ensure children and families had enough to eat during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.

An ELCA World Hunger Daily Bread Matching Grant supported this work. Thanks to your generous gifts, the ELCA is responding to COVID-19 here in the United States and around the world.
