Join us to learn about world hunger by participating in our Oxfam Hunger Banquet after our Sunday Worship service on Sunday, March 24th.

Sunday, March 24

MacKinnon Sanctuary

Nearly 815 million people suffer from chronic hunger worldwide, and yet there is enough food on the planet to feed everyone.

The Oxfam Hunger Banquets® have helped people understand the reality of hunger for over 40 years at thousands of events attended by more 875,000 people around the country. Before the event, guests draw tickets at random that assign each to a high, middle, or low-income level based on current statistics of people living in poverty. Each group receives a meal that corresponds to their income level. The high-income group is served a sumptuous meal; the middle-income group eats a simpler meal of rice and beans; and the low-income group receives rice and water.

About 80 percent of the world’s hungry people work as farmers, herders, fishers or laborers in rural communities. In these parts of the world, conflict, erratic weather patterns and power imbalances limit access to resources like fertile land and clean water. Oxfam Hunger Banquets® bring these issues into communities across the United States to address the importance of building a better food system.
