Bread for the World recognizes the role of climate change as a top cause of global hunger through impacts such as more frequent and prolonged droughts and floods; reduced food quantity and nutrient quality; and a loss of livelihoods that forces people to abandon their homes.

Jane Frances Paysinger passed peacefully from this earth to her heavenly home Tuesday, Jan. 26, 2021, in Memphis, due to complications from COVID-19.
Jane first saw the light of day May 28, 1953, in Oak Ridge.
