Become an HRA
The HRA
Initiative is a vibrant ministry with a proven track record. Since its
inception in 1998, about twenty Conference HRAs have been established.
In just one recent year, they together coordinated over 8,000 people to
glean more than six million servings of food for hungry Americans. At
the same time, our HRAs also helped to deliver another 12 million
servings of food to those in need through the Potato and Produce
Project.
The growth
of the HRA Initiative in the form of additional Conference HRAs and in
more food being delivered to the hungry requires continual growth in
Meals for Millions contributions by United Methodist Men. In order to
achieve our goals of having an HRA in every conference in the U.S. and
increasing Potato and Produce Project deliveries by 54 million servings,
we need to raise about $1.8 million per year through Meals for Millions.
Funding Breakdown
While
$1.8 million may sound like a huge amount of money, it is certainly
attainable. In fact, if only every chartered UMMen fellowship in the
U.S. contributed just $200 per year to Meals for Millions, we would have
the needed amount of funding.
To
support the HRA Initiative, every UMMen group is asked to do these three
things:
-
PRAY for the Society of St. Andrew and for the HRA Initiative.
-
GLEAN with your HRA or with the Society of St. Andrew. If you don’t have
gleaning in your area, contact the Society of St. Andrew and we will
provide you with the material you need to get started.
-
DONATE at least $200 to Meals for Millions. Follow
this link
to make your commitment today.
In
addition, every individual can do the first two things listed above as
well as become a Challenge Disciple or HRA Sponsor to financially
support the HRA Initiative.
