Description: As a Christian response to world hunger, Growing Hope Globally, formerly Foods Resource Bank (FRB), links the grassroots energy and commitment of the U.S. agricultural community with the capability and desire of small farmers in developing countries to grow lasting solutions to hunger. How to Help: Iowans can support the work of Growing Hope by starting or joining a Growing Project in their community. A Growing Project is a group whose members work together to raise a crop or other commodity or hold fundraisers to help farmers overseas become self-sufficient. Growing Projects include revenue from field crops, cattle or dairy, pie auctions, pumpkin patches, Sunday school gardens, and more. Each member plays a unique role and contributes to the Growing Project in different ways by offering their time, talents or resources. For more information about starting or joining a Growing Project, Iowans should call 888-276-4372 or email Von Tarverdi at info@growinghopeglobally.org.
