International Hunger Challenge

Youth leaders: give your group this excellent opportunity to connect with peers, develop empathy, and raise funds for the world’s poor. 

What:
 A 24-hour fast for youth and their leaders, families, and friends

I know this Hunger Challenge has forever changed my views on how other people live in the world and about my role in doing something to make a difference.
—Kayla, youth participant 2005
When:
 Be part of a worldwide fellowship of fasters the first weekend of March each year in coordination with a Community of Christ World Hunger Emphasis Sunday.

Having our young people throughout the world fast together
will help them experience solidarity with the poor, build friendships,
and connect their efforts to the church’s mission.
—World Hunger Committee chair Wallace B. Smith
