The Presbyterian Hunger Program is committed to "alleviating hunger and eliminating its causes." Many of our efforts as Christians focus on alleviating hunger--soup kitchens, food pantries, and other feeding ministries. This is admirable and important, but does not begin to eliminate the causes of hunger. The Church must not only feed the poor, but be bold in speaking a prophetic word against the root causes of hunger. To this end, Christians must be engaged not only in direct service to those who are hungry, but also in advocacy in governmental and corporate spheres to seek to change those systems and circumstances which give rise to hunger and poverty.

The Hunger Relief Ministries of the West Jersey Presbytery offers an easy way for members and friends to know what legislative issues relating to hunger and poverty are on the agenda both in Trenton and in Washington.
