As hunger and economic uncertainty increase in families across the U.S. in 2026, Global Ministries is relaunching the Feeding Our Neighbors initiative, with applications accepted from United Methodist annual conferences rather than local congregations.

The revised structure is intended to streamline administration while ensuring broader geographic distribution of resources and stronger coordination of efforts. Annual conferences are encouraged to prioritize support for both rural and urban congregations operating established food pantries and feeding ministries within local churches.

Annual conferences in the U.S. seeking to participate in the program can learn more and apply between June 1 and July 31, 2026: https://bit.ly/4x5INJh
