Hunger News & Hope

Editor's note: We recently heard from the Associated Church Press that Hunger News & Hope had received two awards for its work in 2020: (1) the Award of Merit in the "Best in Class" category; (2 the Award of Merit for a News Story for "Grace Baptist Church Sees a Different Way," about a church that refused to close down its homeless shelter after a stabbing, by Dawn Michelle Michals, and (3) the Award of Merit for a Theme Issue for the Fall 2020 issue about COVID-19 & Minoritized Populations. 

Read the latest issue of Hunger News and Hope:

HNH Vol 21 No 2, Summer 2021

This is the first of a two-part series about justice issues in farming. In this issue, Sara Alexander shares what she learned, from personal interviews, about the frustrations of Maya farmers in Belize. Dawn Michelle Michals writes about the plight of migrant farm workers in the US and what some groups are doing to bring about lasting change. Michael Williamson takes a deep look into the injustice experienced by Black farmers, particularly in Mississippi.

In “Farm Justice, Part 2,” coming out in early fall, Linda Freeto will examine urban homesteading from the 19th century to the present. I will interview Jonathan Grant, executive director of World Hunger Relief, Inc., whose training farm is located in Lacy Lakeview, TX, about the innovative programs being launched there. The issue will also include an extensive, annotated resource list and an updated hunger glossary.

Hunger and the Bible

Jeremiah 22:13-16

“Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his upper rooms by injustice; who makes his neighbors work for nothing, and does not give them their wages; who says, ‘I will build myself a spacious house with large upper rooms,’ and who cuts out windows for it, paneling it with cedar, and painting it with vermilion. Are you a king because you compete in cedar? Did not your father eat and drink and do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him. He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Is not this to know me?” says the Lord.
