In this month’s Focus newsletter, you’ll read some of the ways the Presbyterian Hunger Program (PHP) and our partners are working to address hunger, poverty and the climate crisis. Learn about PHP’s impact in 2022, suggestions for congregations addressing the affordable housing crisis, action you can take on anti-hunger programs and more. You also can read about other ways that PHP is making a difference such as recognizing Hunger Action Congregations, connecting the Doctrine of Discovery and land theft, co-hosting a Louisville food summit and promoting the next Climate Ambassador Training.
