About the Curriculum
Helping Hungry People is a five-week curriculum that helps elementary-age students learn about the Christian call to help people in need.
This curriculum takes students on "trips" to a local soup kitchen, Haiti, Zambia, and India to learn about people living in poverty. The students will also study the teachings of Jesus. They will engage in a variety of ways to help people who are hungry, through prayer, providing food for a food pantry, collecting money to give to an organization fighting poverty, and writing letters to their members of Congress.
Helping Hungry People is a curriculum that allows teachers to not just teach Scripture, but to do Scripture.
