Church World Service

Description

Who we are

We’re working with partners in the U.S. and around the world to build interfaith and intercultural coalitions to eradicate hunger and poverty and promote peace and justice. Together, we’re supporting sustainable grassroots development, disaster relief, and refugee assistance.Church World Service is people reaching out to neighbors in need near and far--not with a hand out, but a hand up. So, if you’re looking to help build a better world--a world where there’s enough for all--you’ve come to the right place!

In the United States, we’re helping communities respond to disasters, we’re resettling refugees, we’re promoting fair national and international policies, we’re providing educational resources, and we’re inviting you and others to join a people-to-people network of local and global caring through participation in CROP Hunger Walks, the Blankets+ program, and the CWS Kits program.
