We are merely two months away from Hunger Awareness Sunday in October. We trust that your congregation will become involved with solving the plight of hunger here in Virginia and around the world. It does seem cliché, but together we really can make a difference.

Get your congregation involved by doing something simple such as one of the things on our "top ten" list that you will see on this month’s video clip. Or, create your own activity and let us know what you did. Let's begin now to make a difference and end hunger as we know it.

I have come that you might have life.
