World Hunger Ecumenical Arizona Task-Force WHEAT Charity Profile

WHEAT was founded in Arizona in 1979 as a task force of the National Council of Churches and by the 19 different faith communities represented. These faith communities recognized the need for education and advocacy involving the local religious and community groups who were in the struggle to end hunger, both locally and globally. WHEAT was incorporated in Arizona in 1985 as a non-profit 501(c)(3) agency and is the only WHEAT organization still operating from the original group of task forces formed by the National Council of Churches in the 1970’s.
The mission of WHEAT is to educate, advocate, motivate and empower individuals to action in the fight against hunger. WHEAT strives to increase the understanding of the root causes of hunger and to act as a source and resource for individual and group involvement in programs and activities, which work toward the end of hunger.
