By Louisa Ishida, Claire Utley for Living Lutheran

“What our accompaniment means as the ELCA through World Hunger is that we go into places in mutual relationship, a partnership, to empower local leaders, because they’re the experts on the ground who know what their communities need and have the gifts to do it.”

— Meghan Johnston Aelabouni, bishop of the Rocky Mountain Synod and former missionary

Celebrating 50 years of ELCA World Hunger, this milestone highlights the ministry’s global and local impact in fighting hunger and poverty through sustainable solutions, advocacy, and partnerships.
