Second Mile Giving in November:
ELCA World Hunger

“Second-mile giving” refers to an extra offering toward a special cause. Our second mile giving for November goes to ELCA World Hunger. ELCA World Hunger provides immediate relief to those who are hungry, and meets basic needs and recognizes the universal human right to food. But ending hunger is about more than food. By connecting people with the resources they need to produce food and gain access to clean water, education, health care and sources of income, long-term, sustainable change can be accomplished.
