The Power of a Fast

This Thursday, The Hunger Coalition invites you to join in Fast for Hunger, a one day event aimed at personally and directly connecting people throughout our community with the concept of hunger.

Are you willing to skip a meal or not eat for entire day so you can actually KNOW what it feels like to be hungry? Some of us are.

We want to believe that children, parents, aunts and grandfathers in our community do have enough to eat everyday and do not go to bed without having had a meal since morning, or maybe yesterday morning. But we know better.

This is the reality: There are hundreds of people right here in our community who cope with being hungry a lot.


The Hunger Coalition knows that just one person's understanding and empathy can become a voice and that voice can speak out on their behalf to the rest of the community and raise awareness and funds. And make a difference.


Will you be that ONE person this year?

If you think so,
  • Will you tell us about your experience?
  • Do you promise to share with your friends and family and colleagues?
  • Can you speak out on someone else's behalf?

Fast for Hunger. Thursday, October 21st.

Whether it's a meal or a day, you will be empowered by your new knowledge and understanding and it just might make a big difference in your life, too.
