The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is working to feed people in communities experiencing food insecurity across the world.

In addition to providing immediate relief to those in need, the Church is also working to address root issues of hunger around the world.

According to the World Food Programme, 318 million people face crisis levels of hunger, with 41 million people at emergency levels or worse.

In 2025, the Church led 571 food security projects, donated 37,063,409 pounds of food through bishops’ storehouses, equating to around 30,886,174 meals, and supported efforts that resulted in 44% of children improving nutritionally among those who were screened for malnutrition more than once.
