WHO WE HELP

There are countless families living on the edge across Eastern Europe each day. Marco and his family are just one example of those who can be helped through Harvest for the Hungry.

Our partners help many living in terrible poverty across Eastern Europe – regardless of race, religion or background.

In brief

Children at risk: The only hot meal many children receive each day is made in a soup kitchen using food sponsored by Harvest for the Hungry.

Families living in poverty: It's hard to believe that in Europe today there are families living in terrible housing with mud walls and floors, no electricity or running water, and dependant on what they can grow to survive.

The Elderly: In many parts of Eastern Europe over half the monthly pension for an elderly person will be spent on keeping warm. After the rent and other bills are paid, there is very little money left to buy food.

The Homeless:In Romania, living in the underground pipe system is often the most effective way to stay warm, but there is still no food for the homeless except for scavenging the bins.
