Not all charities deal with hunger.  The catholic church is a frequent location for the donations.  The church has numerous  employees at every church as well as support staff at the diocese level and at the Vatican.  Most of these staff members are salaried while the Priests & etc have most of their expenses paid for through these donations.  The staff members are to be treated like members of any business and receive pension and health care adding additional costs.  Other costs that individual churches have include heating and cooling costs.  If you think your heating bills are bad, think of a large building with lots of windows and doors frequently being opened.\n\nThe church itself has numerous missions besides just feeding the hungry.  Frequently churches have nurses on staff to visit the elderly home bound and others who may need help in administering special medication and cannot afford nursing homes or a onsite nurse.  There are frequently nuns on paid staff that visit the ill, the dying, etc.   Some churches have other ministries as well depending on the local area.  \n\nCatholics are also big on right to life and spend considerable resources attempting to deny people's right to choose.  They are also suppose to be opposed to the death penalty and also working against the archaic penalty but is nomally the work of a few individuals.\n\nAll of these different things I have mentioned are just a few of the items that the church works on as well as hunger.  That being said, Catholics are individuals and also give to other charities that they have personal interests in.  From cancer research to colleges, it all stretches the dollar even further.\n\n\n\n\nEverywhere I have been, the protestants have tended to have much more open pocketbooks.  It may have something to do with the silly notion that catholics have that every sperm is sacred and thus have more kids.  The point is, everyone overlooks the most needy, not just Catholics.

Because:  GOD NEEDS YOUR MONEY!!!!!   He is obviously broke, and the only way to help him is to give away your paycheck to the church!

No. There's no reason for anybody to be starving. Especially not in this country. It confuses and angers me.

As you know, Ethiopia and her people are some of the most beautiful in all the world. Sadly, the economy is very poor and consequently many people live in poverty. Starvation should not happen anywhere in this world. What is needed is those countries with more resources should share with those with so much less.\n\nGod bless you. Ameseginalhu.

Classic republican answer the first guy gave.  When we give to other countries we call it "aid".  To ourselves, a "hand out".  We spend billions of dollars on the space program so astronauts can joyride while children starve in the streets.  Government waste is at atrocious levels yet let someone suggest we help those less fortunate and everyone is up in arms.  All the christians seem to forget that we are supposed to help each other, to look at everyone as if they are Jesus and act toward them as we would him.  So many people seem to think that poverty is a result of laziness, when that is not always the case.  Sure, you can get a job working at a fast food place to support your kids, but will that one job pay the rent, or house payment, the utilities and buy food, clothing and other incidentals?  How about child care?  Then lets consider the dead beat dads out there, that seem to think its a badge of honor to have kids but when it comes time to pay, shirk their duties.  They leave sole support on the mother's shoulders while the courts slap them on the wrist.  Yes, there are people that abuse the system, there are people that abuse any situation from employees that steal from their workplace, people who cheat on their taxes, etc.  I would much rather my tax dollars go to taking care of those children and less fortunate than spending it in other countries, on an unjust war, on another space mission, on a $400 hammer, or a study of the mating habits of fruit flies.  This country is supposed to be one of the richest on earth, we hand out money like we have an endless supply, yet our own people go hungry and cold.  It is a disgrace.

Isnt it funny how the bible says that and yet the church is the biggest corporation in the world? They bring in billions of dollars every year.... they must be filled to the brim with evil.

You are absolutely correct!  Our gov't likes to look good, so they keep hidden a lot of things.  They help other countries, do you think they do it out of the goodness of their hearts.  Of course not, they are always getting something in exchange for the help.\nI heard that the USA has stockpiles of foods put away that would feed the whole world for years and years, even if this is true, do you think the USA would just give it away for free. I don't think so.\nI LOVE the USA, however the people we have in authority are greedy and corrupt.

Any Christian organization that asks for money is not Grace Oriented. If they were they would know that god knows they need money and He will provide it if He wants them to stay around.

good news doesnt sell. the ultimate end here is money. sensationalism is the point.  and making people create more is the aim.

i thionk the answer is pure greed. the world produces enough food to feed us all. unfortunatly, there are governments that refuse help in feeding their citizens( n. korea) and countries that are so corrupt, that the leaders accept the aid and seize it and sell it on the open market, allowing their citizens to starve (somalia) i dont believe that hunger will ever end on this planet.

Don't you have a foodbank or church nearby. There are still christians who love people and will insist that they get at least the essentials.

of course,unfortunately,it is a big and discreditable armenian lie,but this accusation is not for all armenian people.because it became a way of earning money of armenian diaspora.this diaspora provoke innocent armenian people and want them to donate for its genocide purposefully activities.it is really sad to see an organization like armenian diaspora in 21st century.even this diaspora once established a terrorist group called asala to kill turkish diplomats as they established tashnak and hincak to kill innocent turkish muslim ciitizens.using armenian people as a toy by imperialistic countries was started in 1915 by russia.because russia wanted to destroy ottoman control in the Caucaus and the balkans.the only way to achieve this was to make begin a mutiny by minorities and unfortinately armenian minority who lived together with their muslim neighbors was chosen for this terrible purpose.russian goverment provoked armenian people and leaded terrorist groups like tashnak and hincak which were planned to destroy muslim villages and kill innocent people.then ottoman goverment wanted to move a lot of armenian communities to syria to stop this chaos(it would be so silly to move muslim communities because ottomans are muslims).and most of the 300,000 armenian people died because of the terrible conditions of way and some attacks of small turkish groups.and the big lie starts here there were only 200,000-300,000 armenian people in anatolia according to original ottoman articles.but armenian lie says that they killed 1 million armenian people(even some crazy says 2 milllion!!).ok if we accept the idea there were 1 million armenians then why armenian diaspora and historians couldnt prove this by armenian historical articles and they avoid from arguing this with turkish historians.yes unfortunately big lie is realized easily here.i say unfortunately because armenian people really need to work to improve their poor country-armenia,not work to prove a lie-that really doesnt work.and my last words:unesco wanted to put censorship to a historical turkish exhibition in paris,because there were original ottoman articles who can openly deduce this lie and second armenian diaspora wanted to ban a tv program which was wanted to be shown on an american tv channel,and this program's purpose was to meet armenian and turkish historians!!

Of course!  That way I can forget that there are hungry people in my country.  I was wondering how they were going to handle this very-low-food-security crisis.  Thanks Bush!

Get all the world's leaders into a room & refuse to let them out until they had come up with a solution to world hunger & stopping wars.\nSurely if one nation has more than enough & another has none then it isn't rocket science to work out that the rich nations should give to the poor.\nEvery world leader today seems to think only of their own country instead of the world as a whole. Except for GW Bush of course, he thinks he is the leader of the world & needs to be taken done a peg or two.

Yeah,I toughed about it.You know,in the world,there has to be some order.That order is mad with help-money.You see,not everyone thinks at this way.When I am buying chocolate or bread,or anything else,I think to my self:I am giving her just paper and coins.She is giving me food.But money...It makes people do awful things.Killings,corruptions,wars-everything just because of the money.It is sad really.Humans highest goal is to earn more money,then spend it,then earn more money etc.etc.You can stop it.But if you think for just like 5 seconds,you will see that,unfortunately,money does make the world go around.It is true.

No one is starving in the united states. We have food stamps, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, churches, canned food drives, welfare checks, and all sorts of other handouts. We also have the richest and most generous population on earth. Whomever is starving is a crack addict or is too lazy to beg the government for my money, or is making good money pretending to be poor and begging on the streets for booze money.\n\nI repeat: No one is starving in the United States.\n\nHowever, I agree with the premise that we send too much aid overseas, when that aid is stolen by aggressive governments who fund terrorism and butcher thier own people an buy weapons with the money sent for aid.

In a nutshell, no.\n\nI don't think we get enough news about the situation in the 'outside' world and that tends to mean that any aid needed isn't considered a priority.\n\nI don't want to get into politics or personalities apart from saying I can understand if the government doesn't want foreign aid because of the possible political implications and foreign 'interference'; but my heart goes out to those who are suffering most, and through no real fault of their own. They are the ones I am praying for - they are the ones that need a miracle.
