2. People’s actions
have an effect on the
world.

3.  People have a positive influence on hungry people
around the world.
 People have a negative influence on hungry people
around the world.
 People working together have the power to make a
change in the world for the hungry.

4. Starvation is when
someone is suffering from
hunger and can die from
not having enough food.

5. In 2010, there were 925 million
people starving around the world.
Asia and
the
Pacific
has the
highest
number of
starving
people

6. Poverty- People who have very little or no money, goods, or
means of support; people who are poor.
Fact: The World Bank has estimated that there were about
1,345 million poor people in some countries who live on
$1.25 a day or less.
Harmful economic systems- This is
when the country’s economy is not
doing so well; it depends on the type of
government the country has; the government did not do a good
job taking care of the people in their country
Conflicts in the government

7. About 25,000 people die every day of hunger.
Children die most often. Yet, there is plenty of food in the
world for everyone.
The problem is that hungry people are trapped in severe
poverty. They do not have the money to buy enough food to
nourish themselves.
Not having enough nutrients in their bodies, they become
weaker and often sick. This makes them unable to work, which
then makes them even poorer and hungrier. This is can lead to
death.

8. Donate money to an organization that helps the
hungry
Sponsor a family by sending money every month
to them
Volunteer at an organization that helps the
hungry
Organize a food drive and collect food items to
donate to the hungry

9. We teamed up with a group of
students from Room 21 to organize a
food drive to donate to the hungry.
We collected canned goods during
the last week of April.

11. Glenn, 58 –
Glenn was injured at work two years ago and currently
receives disability benefits. He wishes he could go back to
work to earn more money but his injuries are too severe and
permanent. He and his 15-year old son live together at home.
“He grows so fast and eats so much,” said Glenn. “But the
money is never enough to feed us both.” To make ends meet,
Glenn visits Central City Churches food pantry once a month.
The food that Glenn and his son receive from Central City
makes a huge difference every month. “We can have meals
three times a day and keep up with the rent for our
apartment,” he said. “It’s a small place, but it’s home…I was
worried that my son and I would end up in some roach-
infested place, but the food we receive from the pantry helps
us keep what we have.”

12. Frank, 42 –
Frank was a successful engineer, living in a 3-bedroom suburban
home in Franklin. He lived there with his wife and daughter.
Recently, his company was making cuts and he lost his job. Despite
his best efforts, he could not find new employment in the tough
economy. His family’s savings were drained within months. He lost
his house because he couldn’t make payments, and finally, could no
longer afford to even put food on the table. He had to send his wife
and daughter to a homeless shelter so they would have a bed and
meal each night. He slept in his car. Being separated from his family
was devastating for him.
Frank came to Central City Churches for help. The staff helped get
him back on his feet, providing his family with emergency food and
hot meals throughout the month. He kept searching for work and was
finally able to land a new job. Alicia, the pantry coordinator at
Central City, noted how grateful Frank was for the extra help. “It’s
scary to think how quickly your situation can get bad,” she said. But
the pantry food and meals really helped him get by…he just need a
little extra push to get him through a bad spot.”

13. Claudia, 47 –
Claudia is a single mother of two, and lives in the neighborhood near
Bethesda Outreach Church. She lives on a fixed income, and many
times, her FoodShare benefits are not enough to get by each month.
She’s “just surviving,” and wishes she could provide her kids with full
meals instead of just bits and pieces of food that she can afford. Not
too long ago, her friend invited her to attend the meal service and
pantry at Bethesda. Claudia had always been reluctant to use a
pantry, but after the invitation and experience at Bethesda, she
realized how much it helped.
Now, she can stretch her family’s food supply to last the entire month,
and her and her kids can enjoy hot meals in the company of friends
and smiling faces. Her kids love the rousing editions of “Happy
Birthday” that the entire dining rooms sings when it is someone’s
special day. Claudia notes that a lot of the people who visit Bethesda
live in the same neighborhood. “We’re all going through the same
thing, but we’re all going through it together…it’s a beautiful thing
they do here.”
