Advocacy


Friends of WFP educates Members of Congress, the administration and other government officials about international hunger issues and specific policies that could improve the U.S. government’s response to global hunger. To maximize our impact, we work in collaboration with WFP, businesses, faith-based groups, coalitions and other organizations.
