Hungry? Probably Not.
This October 16th, we’re joining millions of people in NOT eating. We have contacted local media and businesses to help spread the word. Now, we need the support of local religious communities.
As people of faith we are called to help the poor and hungry, and statistics are showing a growing abundance of poor and hungry people nationally and internationally. For October 16, we ask two things:
(1) Skip lunch and spend that time praying for those who regularly go without food.
(2) Donate your lunch money to the McLennan County Hunger Coalition, or to a program in your congregation or community that feeds hungry people.
During a brief program at Heritage Square, downtown at 3rd & Austin, from 12:15 pm to 12:45 pm, we will fast together and recognize a number of people who have worked to bring food to the hungry in our community.
A billion hungry children and adults worldwide are depending on us.
How will you make a difference?
