There’s a buzz around the office today – because it’s Feed The Hungry Day!
Key points
- Call 1300 00 55 14 to make your donation today!
- “When hunger is your constant companion, concentration is a distant relative,” Ben Evans said.
- Your gift of just $6 will feed a hungry child at school, for a whole month.
Here at Hope 103.2 headquarters, we’re all personally invested in raising money for as many meals for as many children as possible.
There are Take Away Hunger Day t-shirts and banners and balloons everywhere – and we even tried some of the food that Feed The Hungry sends to school children in Uganda.
Because, as Feed The Hungry CEO Ben Evans says, “When hunger is your constant companion, concentration is a distant relative.”
Donate $6 today to feed a child for month.
If these kids are going to break the poverty cycle in their own lives, they need to have a good education. And often, a hungry belly is an insurmountable hurdle standing between a student and the opportunity to learn.
This week we’ve met some really special people. Alonyo shared her inspirational story of receiving a second chance. Massimo told us about his excitement for the future. And Maria shared the grief she has experienced, losing people she dearly loved.
And you’ve dug deep and showed the children of Uganda that they’re not alone.
Today there are Take Away Hunger Day t-shirts and banners and balloons all around the Hope 103.2 headquarters!
Feed The Hungry, founded in 1987, is based on Matthew 25 and believes that as Christians we have a biblical responsibility to respond to the injustice of world hunger with actions of compassion.
By partnering with local churches and aid organisations, Feed The Hungry has provided over 100 million meals around the world.
Join us for Take Away Hunger Day in a national effort to provide nutritious rice meals to refugee children in Uganda.
Thank you, Hopeland! As always, you’ve shown just how big your heart is.
