about us

Food for the Hungry is an international relief and development organization that answers God’s call to meet the physical and spiritual needs of the poor in more than 26 countries. Founded in 1971 by Dr. Larry Ward, Food for the Hungry exists to help individuals reach their God-given potential.

In developing countries on nearly every continent, Food for the Hungry works with churches, leaders and families to provide the resources they need to help their communities become self-sustaining.

When disasters strike, Food for the Hungry is often one of the first organizations on the ground to provide and facilitate emergency relief assistance to those in urgent need of food, shelter, and medical care.
  Our ministry staff members are also immersed in hundreds of developing communities around the world, implementing long-term development programs such as agriculture training, clean water and food security programs, church development, child development, nutrition education and HIV/AIDS care and prevention.

Food for the Hungry also recruits and equips people in the U.S. to serve the poor and help transform their lives. They can serve through a variety of ministries, including Hunger Corps, Short-Term Team Ministry, Volunteer Ministry, Artist Program, Student Ministries, and Child Sponsorship. In addition, there are opportunities for overseas academic and internship programs for college and graduate students.
