THANK YOU...
YOU FILLED THE BOWL

When news of a burgeoning global food crisis broke this past summer, LWR issued a call: help us raise half a million dollars to expand our programming in the hardest-hit regions, building on our successful model of empowering and educating families and communities to feed themselves. You responded generously to help us meet this ambitious goal.

Thanks to you, our Fill the Bowl campaign exceeded our goal by more than $20,000! Thanks to you, thousands of families have the ability to weather the difficult food situation and improve their livelihoods. By investing in programs that focus on long-term needs rather than quick fixes, you are helping bring lasting solutions in the fight against hunger.

We sincerely appreciate your compassion and generosity. You are making a very real difference in the world. And though our Fill the Bowl campaign has ended,  needs still persist. Your continued support and prayers for this shared ministry are crucial.

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