A Study-Action Guide for Wisconsin Congregations
Hunger on Our Doorstep: A Study-Action Guide for Wisconsin Congregations is a resource from the Wisconsin Council of Churches to help congregations learn about – and respond to – hunger in their communities.
Basic questions about hunger provide the starting point for the curriculum: Who is hungry in Wisconsin? What are the impacts of hunger? What are its causes? What can be done about hunger? What does the Bible say about hunger?
Answering these questions is just the beginning. This curriculum is called a study-action guide because it aims to lead congregations to take concrete steps to help their hungry neighbors, in partnership with others in their community. Participants will learn about the particular needs of hungry people in their own community, and what is – or is not – being done to meet those needs. The curriculum culminates in a brainstorming session to develop an action plan for local anti-hunger ministry and public policy advocacy.

Facilitator Training Workshops
Our staff offered a series of two-hour facilitator training workshops in Sun Prairie, Elm Grove, Appleton and Tomah in late August for those who are interested in using this resource. Our staff is available to come to your community for a facilitator training workshop if there are five or more congregations who wish to be trained. Please call or email Peter Bakken if you are interested in scheduling a workshop, or if you have questions.
