  The Presbytery of Charlotte's Hunger Action Work Group uses as its guide the Common Affirmation on Global Hunger of the Presbyterian Church (USA) which outlines five ways the Presbyterian Hunger Program follows to help reduce hunger and relieve suffering:  

Direct Food Relief to people suffering from chronic or acute hunger in the United States and around the world. Grants are allocated to such things as shelters, pantries and missions.
 
Development Assistance which includes teaching poor people better agriculture and nutrition techniques, public health, family planning, community organizing and economic development.
 
Public Policy which advocates, through peaceful means, political or economic policy changes to provide more food in the United States and other nations, empower self-development or promote freedom from oppressive and unjust systems that fail to meet basic needs.
 
Lifestyle Integrity through which the Church teaches awareness of the Earth's limited resources and promotes personal lving and corporate practice that move the world toward the sustainable use of resources.
 
Education and Interpretation, which involvesteaching the public about the root causes of hunger and motivates people to act and to educate others.
