The Global Hope Supporters in Michigan and Illinois, U.S., will hold a volunteer event on October 26, 2025, in cooperation with the City of St. John, to support local small-scale food producers and help build a sustainable food system to celebrate World Food Day 2025.
Eighty volunteers from Detroit, Chicago, Lansing, Oak Lawn, Joliet, Merrillville, Bloomingdale, and Niles will help harvest apples at Uncle John’s Cider Mill, which is facing a labor shortage. The “Hold Hope” campaign aims to support those suffering from food insecurity—including vulnerable groups and small-scale food producers—and move toward a world free from hunger. the campaign is being conducted from September to October 2025 across about 60 countries, sharing the message that “Everyone has the right to adequate, safe, and nutritious food.” 1. Food Aid to Vulnerable Groups We support low-income families in about 60 countries, including those where the prevalence of severe food insecurity exceeds the global average.
In cooperation with local governments, we provide food boxes designed with balanced nutrition to neighbors in humanitarian crisis situations, raising public awareness of the global food crisis. 2. Support for Small-Scale Food Producers We offer tailored assistance—such as providing helping hands and essential supplies in farming, fishing, or livestock industries—to local small-scale food producers, contributing to the stabilization of regional food supply systems. - This campaign is part of the Church of God’s six major fields of social contribution, under the category of “Poverty and Hunger Alleviation.” The Global Hope Supporters continue to take the lead in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through diverse initiatives, including climate change response, educational support, and health and well-being promotion.
