The Genesis Charitable Fund has finalized a five-year plan to address local, national and international hunger. Hunger does not begin with the absence of food. It begins with poor living conditions, poor economic conditions, poor educational systems, disease, and contaminated water supplies. The current recession continues to devastate many lives domestically as well as abroad. Genesis works with local agencies to move from talking about hunger to doing something about it.

Global Economic Development Hunger does not begin with the absence of food. It begins with poor living conditions, poor economic conditions, poor educational systems, disease, and contaminated water supplies. The 2008 recession devastated many lives domestically as well as abroad. Genesis works with local agencies to move from talking about hunger to doing something about it. Genesis acknowledges that domestic recovery is linked directly to recovery abroad. The Genesis team recently visited Zimbabwe to provide mosquito nets and to initiate production of a farm with a sister church in that region.
