Growing Hope Globally
Description:
As a Christian response to hunger, we link the grassroots energy and commitment of rural communities in the U.S. with the capability and desire of smallholder farmers in developing countries to grow lasting solutions to hunger.
Volunteer Opportunities:
Our primary model of volunteering is participation in a Growing Project. A Growing Project are community groups including farmers, agribusinesses, churches, civic groups and others who come together around the common cause of helping people who struggle with hunger in the developing world. Together they grow crops, raise animals or do other activities to generate funds. The whole community has the opportunity to get involved. Farmers till the land or raise the animals while businesses, churches and individuals cover the input and land costs so that, when sold, the entire profit can be used to support the Growing Hope program(s) of their choice.
