The Funds Administration Committee is responsible to “report and/or report policies about the use of 4 cents-a-meal ” offerings.  It meets quarterly to recommend to the Presbytery Council about the distribution of the hunger funds donated by the churches.  It is also to “announce decisions about the offerings through the Presbytery communication process.”

Funds Administration has set guidelines for the distribution of hunger funds. The churches are to retain up to 25% of hunger funds collected for use as they wish.  The balance of funds are then sent to presbytery for allocation according to guidelines set out by the presbytery as follows:

• International Hunger Relief Programs: 65%
• National/Local Hunger Relief Programs: 28%
• Advocacy for the Hungry Programs: 7%

The Hunger Program of Shenandoah Presbytery works in concert with the Presbyterian Hunger Program PC(USA).
