In the fall of 2007 Jim Morris, freshly returned from five years as head of the World Food Program of the United Nations, called together Jewish, Christian and Muslim leaders in Indianapolis. Jim had seen hungry children in places all around the world. He reminded us that all of our faith traditions encourage us to “feed the hungry,” and encouraged us to work together to help feed the hungry. Thus began the Indianapolis Interfaith Hunger Initiative. The Initiative launched on World Food Day, October 16, 2008. All of our congregations are responding to hunger. However, it is not enough. There is sufficient food to go around and yet each day around the world sixteen thousand children die of hunger and related causes and here at home eighteen thousand are routinely hungry in Indianapolis. We are coming together to End Child Hunger.
OUR MISSION: to eliminate child hunger both locally and globally.
