One aspiration of The Alliance Canada 2034 vision is: “What if twice as many people were lifted from poverty, or vulnerable people rescued from exploitation through our ministries?”
Globally, over 720 million people face hunger and food insecurity due to natural disasters, conflict, or wars. To respond, the Relief and Development team partners with the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, providing hope and bread to vulnerable communities around the world.
The Foodgrains Bank is a group of 15 denominations committed to addressing worldwide hunger; and as a member, The Alliance Canada maintains an equity account, funded by donations, to draw from to fund emergency food aid and sustainable agricultural projects. To strengthen engagement, The National Ministry Centre now has a Canadian Foodgrains Bank Coordinator to connect churches and farmers with opportunities to participate!
Kristi Hopf, a former International Worker in Niger working in relief and development, now oversees the Foodgrains Bank projects and funds. For inquiries, contact: foodaid@thealliancecanada.ca
