The Alliance to End Hunger is a non-profit organization that strives to end hunger not only in just the USA, but also abroad. The company Bread for the World established Alliance to End Hunger as a platform for secular and faith based organizations to intertwine with each other and work together to fight the epidemic of hunger. Eventually, by 2004, the Alliance became its own independent organization instead of being a platform to another company. Although it is its own organization now, it still continues to work with other organizations to fight against hunger throughout the world. Now, the organization is in a collection of 90 other different organizations and members.

The Alliance also works with members of federal agencies such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), World Food Program (WFP), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). Partnering with these agencies helps to ensure that the food that they are sending throughout the world is safe and are nonperishable.

They disperse food throughout many different types of environments, ranging from small towns, to major metropolitan cities and states. Sometimes, the branches of the Alliance is ran by governors, mayors, other political figures, or it can be entirely volunteer driven.

The Alliance also has a branch called the National Alliance Partnership Program which helps bring food to seven developing countries; Ghana, Guatemala, Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia. They were given a grant from the U.S. Agency for International Development by the U.S. Government’s Feed the Future initiative. With this grant, they are able to send more people and food around the world to the people that need it most. They were also given a $3 million grant originally so that they could expand their work. With 90 members, and support from the government, The Alliance to End Hunger hopes to help feed the world.

  • I love that the Alliance to End Hunger works not only with believers but unbelievers too. I'm sure that as the secular world sees the love and earnestness Christians display when fighting hunger, they're compelled to ask why Christians are so driven to serve others. Great job touching on many key points of this organization!

  • It is great to see a company that not only serves food to underdeveloped countries but also sees how in our own country there is hunger. Some students only meal will be the cafeteria lunch and i think many people don't see hunger as a problem within our backyard. I think more companies should fight at home and abroad. Hunger is everywhere we go in the world, and i don't think enough people understand that, they just see it as a problem far away over sea.
