Bread for the World Offering of Letters
Mon, 05/09/2011 - 8:48am | margo ramos kendall
This year, we are sending two basic messages. First, we are urging Congress to resist efforts to cut programs that help our hungry brothers and sisters. Second, we are asking for reforms of our system of foreign assistance, to make it more efficient and more effective in reducing hunger and poverty. In fact, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, Catholic Relief Services, and Bread for the World are all making these same requests.
