Hi Friend,

Your support for ending hunger has been critical so far this year — and we wanted to share where we stand at this halfway point in 2026.

Thanks to you, our collective advocacy is making a difference. Together, we’ve worked alongside communities experiencing hunger and urged policymakers in Congress to take meaningful action, despite many challenges!

Infographic with headline This year, you have made a huge impact! In 2026 so far, Bread supporters have taken 10,284 actions aimed at ending hunger. These actions have transformed into 26,357 letters sent to Congress

Your advocacy is working! This February, the House passed the Fiscal Year 2026 National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations bill (SFOPS) — a major win for U.S. humanitarian assistance programs.

SFOPS includes $5.5 billion for humanitarian assistance programs ... $720 million for food security and agricultural development ... and $165 million for global nutrition programs.

For millions of people around the world facing hunger, famine, health issues and disease, the passage of this bill brings needed relief.

Your support is driving this progress — together, we are living our faith. Even when our bodies are tired, our spirits remain strong, as we meet with members of Congress on both sides of the aisle to push for funding that can help our nation meet the challenges ahead.

Thank you for believing in our mission to end hunger. We’ll continue to share more news in the months to come.

With gratitude,

Vila-Sheree Watson
Vice President for Development and Membership
