Hunger and Poverty by the Numbers: Where Are We at Now?

"Hunger and Poverty by the Numbers: Where Are We at Now?" is a webinar with Ryan Cumming (ELCA World Hunger) on December 9, 2021, at 5pm MST, 4 pm PST. Registration for this webinar is at forms.office.com/r/iN8KcajcJ4.

The webinars are open to anyone passionate about ending hunger and eager to learn more. In each session, we will dive deeply into the topic, with presentations from ELCA World Hunger staff and partners and time for questions and conversation.

We know that hunger is about more than food. Understanding hunger – and working to end it – means seeing the many ways hunger and poverty intersect with so many other issues, including climate change, food production, access to housing, racial justice, gender justice and more. In “Hunger at the Crossroads,” a new webinar series hosted by ELCA World Hunger, we will explore these intersections and the ways we can be part of God’s promise of a just world where all are fed.

Data around hunger and poverty can sometimes be complex. And knowing what sources to draw from is not always straightforward. Come join ELCA World Hunger for a look at what the latest research tells us about trends in hunger and poverty around the world and in the US. We will also take a look at the impact of COVID-19 on hunger and poverty now and into the future. 

Registration for future "Hunger at the Crossroads" sessions will be available soon. Follow ELCA World Hunger on Facebook and Twitter to get up-to-date information, including dates and links for registration. Questions about "Hunger at the Crossroads" can be sent to hunger@elca.org.
