Raise
Hunger Awareness in Your CommunityEach
year the first Tuesday of June is National
Hunger Awareness Day. This year, June 3rd is
National Hunger Awareness Day.
On Tuesday evening, Connect Nutrition
and friends will take time to renew our
devotion to ending hunger and food
insecurity problems
faced by over 800 million
people around the world. During this time,
we will reflect on our dedication
to achieving the eight Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) – the
first of which is to eradicate extreme
poverty and hunger.
We invite you to join us by taking a
few moments of active silence, prayer,
meditation, or some other peaceful action you
wish to take to help manifest the goal of hunger
eradication globally.
There are many activities being organized
to raise awareness on this day including
hunger fasts and food drives. Some other
simple actions you can take include:
§
Donate money or food to your
local food bank
§
Write a letter to the editor
of your local newspaper to raise awareness
of problems in your community
§
Vote - for measures that
reduce poverty
§
Thank your local anti-hunger
advocates for their hard work
