At a time when prices for basic living expenses like food and shelter continue to rise, many people in our broader community face hunger. Food Lifeline, a Community Food sovereignty fund, is a grantmaking initiative centering communities most impacted by hunger and food insecurity. Grantees designate solutions meeting the unique needs of their neighborhoods, from building hoop houses, to installing edible landscaping in migrant housing communities, and procurement of culturally relevant foods for distribution on tribal land.

In October our Special Collection sponsored by Advocates for Social Justice (ASJ) will go to support Oxfam’s work in the Middle East. Respect for the human rights of all people is at the crux of Oxfam’s mission and their basic common humanity. Following the horrific violence in communities in Israel and fighting in Gaza, Oxfam has called for the release of hostages and an end to the cycle of violence. “Israel has the right to defend its people from attacks and has the obligation to protect civilians in the Occupied Palestinian Territory under international humanitarian law,” says Oxfam America President Abby Maxman. The humanitarian situation in Gaza is rapidly deteriorating after many days of bombing and the blocking of basic humanitarian assistance. Food, safe shelter, and medical care are already out of reach for hundreds of thousands of people. Support this work with a tax-deductible gift that will help fight inequality and save lives.
