Mission Statement

For the past 33 years, since its founding in 1976, the mission of World Hunger Education Service is to undertake programs, including Hunger Notes, which:

• inform the community of people interested in issues of hunger and poverty, the public, and policymakers, about the causes, extent, and efforts to end hunger and poverty in the United States and the world.
• further understanding, which integrates ethical, religious, social, economic, political, and scientific perspectives on hunger and poverty.
• facilitate communication and networking among those who are working for solutions.
• promote individual and collective commitment to solutions to the hunger and poverty that confront hundreds of millions of the people of the world.
