Where We Work

Student Outreach

Student groups, service clubs, and U.S. schools have all been key allies in the fight against hunger. Schools throughout the U.S. have played a vital role in organizing school- and community-wide activities geared to raising money and awareness to fight world hunger. The following are several interactive projects that can educate your peers and communities while providing for an inspiring way to support concrete solutions for world hunger:

Fast for Awareness

Learn what it is like to experience hunger. Host a Fast for Awareness in your school or community group.

Fast for Awareness is a school or community-wide event to raise money and awareness about world hunger. It is a 24-hour fast, with no food but water and juice allowed, that allows participants to solicit sponsorships for fasting while experiencing something similar to what many in the world today feel on a regular basis. These guidelines are malleable to your event, location, and participants needs. There are many different ways to plan this event depending upon your targeted participants from a 24 hour lock-in to a fast ending with a fundraising banquet and academic panel. The options are infinite!
