An evangelical Christian leader is calling on Congress to extend the federal child tax credit to help alleviate food insecurity.
Rev. Eugene Cho, the president and CEO of District-based relief group Bread for the World, said the tax credit — along with more involvement from churches and individuals — is needed to help the one in 10 households in the U.S. struggling to put food on the table.
Mr. Cho, formerly the senior pastor of Quest Church in Seattle, was named to his position in March 2020, succeeding the organization’s founder, the Rev. David Beckmann, who now advises Virginia Theological Seminary’s dean on political and economic justice.
