There are many wonderful people and organizations working to feed the hungry. There are also many reasons for doing so. Some do it because it makes them feel good.  Others may have been taught by parents and teachers that it is good to share things with others.  Some may even take care of the poor out of guilt - or to look good in front of others.

God speaks a lot about hunger in the Bible.  In fact, hunger can even be divided into two kinds: physical and spiritual.  You can read some verses about both types of hunger below.  Physical hunger will always be with us and it's clear that God wants us to take care of those who suffer.  Spiritual hunger is also common.  Some people even try to address their spiritual hunger by doing good things -- like feeding the hungry.  But the Bible makes it clear that our spiritual hunger can only be satisfied by God himself.

If you'd like to know more please contact us!  We'd love to help you address the problem of physical hunger in your community through FHFH.  

And if you find you are suffering from spiritual hunger, we'd like to help you with the answer to that problem too.

Physical Hunger

Spiritual Hunger
  • Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless.  Isaiah 58:7 (NLT)
  • Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble.  Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon.  Isaiah 58:10  (NLT)
  • Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, and you say, “Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do?  So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.  James 2:15-17 (NLT)
  • As the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter.  He was an outdoorsman, but Jacob had a quiet temperament, preferring to stay at home.  Genesis 25:27 (NLT)
  • “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world.  For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing.  I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’  “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing?  When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?' "And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’   Matthew 25:34-40 (NLT) 
  • The true bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”  “Sir,” they said, “give us that bread every day.”   Jesus replied, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again.  Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.  John 6:33-35 (NLT)
  • But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’"   Matthew 4:4  (NLT)
  • God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they will be satisfied.  Matthew 5:6 (NLT)
  • As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God.      Psalm 42:1 (NLT)
  • Then Jesus turned to his disciples and said, “God blesses you who are poor, for the Kingdom of God is yours.  God blesses you who are hungry now, for you will be satisfied.  God blesses you who weep now, for in due time you will laugh.  Luke 6:20-21 (NLT)
