LWR PLEDGES $500,000
TO FILL THE BOWL

This summer you and LWR can boldly respond to the call for better solutions and a lasting impact on the current global food situation.  Join us as we seek to raise $500,000 to support successful food growing programs.  These programs will nourish individuals and families, giving them the ability to weather the difficult food situation and improve their livelihoods, ensuring access to education and health care. 

Seems ambitious, doesn’t it?  But we know that we have active, engaged, empowered communities all over the U.S. committed to improving the lives and livelihoods of their global neighbors.  In short…we know if we put out the call, you will respond!

We hope the stories, pictures, and information on this website will help you as you engage your community, church, family and friends to come together in response to global need!
