The devastation in Ukraine is tragically creating a tsunami on food security, not just in country but around the globe.  As an officer of Church World Service, I know well their commitment to finding just and sustainable solutions to address all aspects of this emergency – from helping Ukrainian refugees, to providing emergency food to those impacted globally, and helping build stronger food systems around the world.  When we give, our gifts will provide live-saving support such as emergency food now and the seeds, tools and programs that will help families feed themselves in the future.

Ukraine: The world's bread basket

The current war on Ukraine has disrupted supply chains, planting and harvest. As a top five global producer of wheat, there is great uncertainty surrounding exports, severely impacting global markets. As a result of the continued war, 47 million more people globally will suffer from acute malnutrition, resulting in a total of 323 million people that can't sufficiently meet their hunger needs.
