AV WHO'S INVOLVED WITH HUNGER: An Organization Guide for Education and Advocacy is dedicated to the women, men, and youth in these and similar organizations who persist with hope and courage despite adversity and against the odds to build a world for all people where human dignity is liberated, human community, fulfilled and a wounded Creation, healed. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many people have helped World Hunger Education Service bring this new edition of Who's Involved With Hunger to light. Students Melanie Kim from George Washington University and Sara Lowden from the University of Maine carried out e major share of the new research on nongovernmental organizations. International Voluntary Services under executive director Linda Worthington, a long-time WHES Associate who edited the third edition in 1982, sponsored Ms. Kim's work. Ms. Lowden was sponsored by the University of Maine School of Social Work under the direction of William H. Whitaker, also a World Hunger Education Service Associate. John Moore assisted with research for the United Nations section. Dr. Whitaker's suggestions significantly strengthened the section dealing with U.S. hunger and poverty, both as to substance and arrangement. Valuable guidance came also from Mary Ellen Lloyd, director of the Domestic Hunger and Poverty Working Group of the National Council of Churches from 1978 to 1990 and author of Ecumenical Domestic Hunger Project Network and It's Time to ShoutllHistory of the Program on Domestic Hunger and Poverty 1975-1990. In the federal agency section we are indebted to Neal Peterson at the Economic Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and to WHES Associate Antonio Gayoso at the U.S. Agency for International Development for their help with the bureaucracies of those agencies, particularly regarding USAID because of its administrative restructuring in 1991. Linda Coffin, owner of PageCrafters in Minneapolis and another WHES Associate, skillfully met our "due last month" layout deadline without losing her sense of humor. Thanks are due also to the 420 organizations included here for patiently supplying the information requested. The editor takes sole responsibility throughout for the selection of information and the accuracy of reporting, hoping that the errors inevitable in so much detail prove not to be unduly dire or numerous. An organization's inclusion does not imply endorsement, nor does omission imply lack of significance. This must be emphasized. Rather, unfortunate omissions are acknow- ledged as a consequence of balancing broad representation of the many, approaches to issues of hunger and poverty with the practical limitations of space. Finally, great appreciation for the very possibility of producing at last a new edition of Who's Involved With Hunger after a seven years' hiatus is due to the fifth edition sponsors who provided essential funding (an asterisk marks WHES Associates): CODEL, the World Hunger Committee of the Iowa Methodist Board of Global Ministries, the Episcopal Presiding Bishop's Fund for World Relief, *Michael and Jeanette Altamura, *Mamice Boyd, *Rev. Lowell Glendon, the Mennonite Central Committee, World Hunger Year, *Phillipp Hesser, Christian Children's Fund, Freedom From Hunger, *Jean M.

Actually, anyone doing anything that affects someone's livelihood and access to food. That's a very broad statement but true. Public policy? Inevitably and always, it's either part of the problem or part of the solution. The status of human rights? Again, part of the solution or part of the problem. Food production, processing, distribution? Obviously relevant. Unemployment and underemployment versus full employment and decent income? Inherently hunger issues. Access to land and other productive assets? There can hardly be a more fundamental livelihood issue. Corporate accountability to local communities? Another fundamental livelihood issue. Sustainable
