Do you want to provides meals to kids in need and learn more about hunger in America, subscribe to www.LOPprograms.org. Land of Promise was established in 2007, after I traveled to Uganda, Africa, on a mission trip. Uganda is a beautiful country where hunger is visible. Upon my return from Uganda I wanted to share my stories and put a face to the problem in this country. My eyes were quickly opene
d to food insecurity issues that exist in America after working on the United States Hunger study. I learned that I did not have to travel to Africa to encounter hunger and food insecurities because it exists in my community. According to the hunger gap study, food insecurity exists in every county, and in every congressional district. However, in America, unlike Africa, in most circumstances hunger is invisible. The mission of Land of Promise is to bring awareness, inspire hope and develop programs to address food inequities nationally and international. We hold firmly to these core values:
We value collaboration with a community’s most valuable assets its residents, churches, businesses, schools, government, non-profits organizations and corporations. The entire community becomes more informed and better when all work together. We value bringing joy to the recipients of our services. We appreciate the volunteers that give us their time, financial assistance and talents. We value advocating for our clients by understanding their needs and caring for their welfare. We believe in excellence in our efforts and returning the promises of the fruitful land to all people, especially the ones that are in need.
