Open Forum

Bread for the World is a collective Christian voice urging our nation’s decision-makers to end hunger at home and abroad. Read the AZ Fact sheet and a summary of the Farm Bill here.

In the letters we write to our elected officials this year, the focus will be on ensuring that the 2023 Farm Bill is passed. The bill developed out of many meetings with grassroots organizers as well as staff of relevant congressional members. Its comprehensive focus is on building a healthy, equitable sustainable food system by way of the Farm Bill.

The March 5th Forum updated us on the progress of the Bill. An insert in the Sunday (March 5th) bulletin had further facts and a sample letter. You can also view here. Thank you to Ruth Wootten for all her work and presenting our March 5th forum.

If you wrote a letter, please let the office know (info@ulctempe.org or 480-967-3543). Thank you!
