Emergency Response

The Bahamas are reeling from deadly hurricane Dorian, which decimated 45% of the homes on affected islands and left the population in desperate need of live-saving resources. Right now, 220,000 litres of water are needed daily.

Early in 2019, cyclone Idai struck southeast Africa with devastating force, causing widespread flooding and damage. Hundreds of thousands were displaced in Mozambique, Malawi, and Zimbabwe. Victims still need food, clean water, and emergency supplies.

Indonesia declared a state of emergency when a tsunami swept over coastal regions of Sumatra and Java. Crisis persists as earthquakes continue to destroy homes, cause floods, rattle families, and complicate relief efforts. 

Refugees need help. An estimated 1.3 million Rohingya refugees have fled ethnic-based violence in Myanmar and are right now trapped in refugee camps in Bangladesh. They are in dire need of clean water and healthcare support. A protracted conflict in Yemen has resulted in the most severe cholera outbreak ever witnessed, with hundreds of thousands of children affected.

Today, you can meet these urgent needs — faithfully answering God’s call to respond to suffering — and help save their lives.

We need your help to respond quickly and bring relief to the people who need it the most; families in need of food, medicine, and shelter. Food for the Hungry was launched as one man’s passionate response to a global hunger crisis and his conviction that poverty would not stop any individual from living a thriving life.

Today, our world is facing major emergencies and Food for the Hungry is once again stepping into the gap. Acute famines have emerged in multiple regions. Violent conflict, natural disasters, climate change, and poverty are causing families to literally starve.

“We stand at a critical point in history. We are facing the largest humanitarian crisis since the creation of the UN,” UN Emergency Relief Coordinator Stephen O’Brien

We have to do something.

Through partnerships with established relief organizations, FH is bringing emergency aid and hope to thousands of victims suffering starvation, sickness, homelessness, and insecurity because of circumstances beyond their control.

Thank you for joining us in the global effort to rescue these millions from tragedy!
