How long does the C2C relationship with a community last?
It is most helpful if the relationship lasts until Food for the Hungry exits the community. However, we recommend an initial commitment of three to five years. This will allow your church to build relationships with field staff and community members, earn the community’s trust and respect, and get involved in the life of the community. FH does not permanently establish operations in any one community. We stress self-sufficiency and teach the community to utilize local resources to avoid the negative repercussions of long-term dependency. Once a community is ready to be self-sustaining, we’d invite you to consider transitioning to enter into a relationship with a new community.
