World Hunger

In 1982, a small men’s prayer breakfast group from the church felt God’s call to feed the hungry around the world.  That first year, a yard sale on the grounds raised more than $1,000 for the World Hunger Fund.  Since then, World Hunger Day at FBC-H has raised thousands of dollars to feed those in need.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars raised. Countless lives touched. The love of Jesus shared through gifts, work, and provisions.
