WHEAT

The World Hunger Ecumenical Arizona Task-Force (WHEAT) was formed in 1979 to address the root causes of hunger, providing tools and resources to make a difference in the lives of others living in poverty, encouraging people to think globally, but act locally.  WHEAT is committed to increasing the understanding, sensitivity and opportunity for change in the fight against hunger amongst all peoples.  WHEAT’s ultimate goal is the ability of the individual to become self-sustaining.  In 2003, WHEAT added its dba World Hunger Education, Advocacy & Training organization, reflecting the wider audience that WHEAT is collaborating with, along with its intentional emphasis on education, advocacy and training with a goal to end hunger and poverty at the root.   

The mission of WHEAT is to educate, advocate, engage and empower individuals to action in the fight against hunger and poverty. WHEAT focuses on the root causes of hunger and poverty, acting as a source and resource for individual and group involvement in programs and activities, all working to empower individuals to self-sustenance.
