Last year, St. John's sent dozens of letters, and we delivered over 4,500 to our legislators on behalf of Bread for the World and those who suffer from food insecurity. This year, Bread for the World is doing the Offering of Letters differently. Instead of writing letters and collecting them for a centralized delivery to our legislators, we ask that you write your Congressional leaders directly and let us know. That way, we can report the impact we're having on behalf of Hoosiers in need.
To learn more about this year's campaign, download the Better Nutrition, Better Tomorrow document from the Bread for the World website.
Three Ways to Reach your Legislators
In previous years, we have hand-delivered thousands of letters to legislators to demonstrate the size of our movement. Due to COVID-19, each writer will need to send your own communications. Meanwhile, Offering of Letters Coordinators will tally the number of contacts we make so we can still show the strength of our cause.
LETTERS - Hand-written letters have the greatest impact. But a typed document also has a significant impact. You can find a sample letter HERE. Please write one letter to EACH Senator and one letter to your Representative. Addresses for Senators and Representatives are listed below.
EMAIL - Email is another way to reach out to your two Senators and your one Representative. You can find resources for emailing your Congressional leaders at the Bread for the World website. It is important to personalize your email.
PHONE CALLS - Calls can to help urge your legislators to end hunger, too. Use the letter provided here for ideas for a brief message. Then call (800-326-4941). Ask for your legislator. Or use one of the in-district numbers below to reach the office nearest you.
Once you've written, emailed, or called, please click HERE to let us know.
On behalf of Bread for the World, the St. John's Advocacy Committee, and thousands of Hoosiers, thank you for your advocacy.
