LeSEA Global Feed The Hungry is a Christian aid organization dedicated to feeding the hungry and providing emergency relief to people in need as a result of famine, drought, flood, war, or other disaster. Founded in 1987 by Dr. Lester Sumrall, Feed The Hungry has delivered over $200 million USD in relief supplies to more than 90 nations around the world.

Feed The Hungry works hand-in-hand with churches, schools, and childcare centers globally to directly oversee the entire relief process from start to finish. Procurement, storage, transportation, and distribution are directly managed through our organization to insure that what has been promised will be delivered without undue bureaucratic government intervention. To avoid the pitfalls of corruption, food and relief supplies are not handed over to government agencies. Rather, local charitable organizations receive the aid, seeing they know the needs of their own communities best.
