The materials include a Power Point presentation and several associated documents. The materials are designed to be used as part of four consecutive weeks of education on hunger. They can also be used individually to meet the needs for one or two sessions.

Bread for the World’s 2012 Offering of Letters
Presented by Robin Stephenson, Western Regional Coordinator, Bread for the World
Advocate Together - Bread for the World
We are people of faith making our voices heard in Congress and to make our nation’s laws more compassionate to people in need. Each year Bread for the World invites churches and groups across the country to write personal letters and emails to their members of Congress, advocating for policies that help end hunger in the U.S. and around the world. The 2012 Offering of Letters campaign will urge Congress and the administration to form a circle of protection around programs that help poor and hungry people.
This new, flexible campaign has one overall campaign and four mini-campaigns addressing specific legislation that Congress will decide on in 2012:
• Domestic nutrition assistance
• Tax credits for low-income families
• Poverty-focused foreign assistance
• International food aid
