Hunger Day

Observed the first Tuesday of June each year, National Hunger Awareness Day is a public awareness initiative to help inform individuals, communities, corporations, and policy makers that hunger is a severe domestic issue but a solvable one as well.

The Society of St. Andrew is proud to be a sponsor of National Hunger Awareness Day. We invite your church to have a special worship service in conjunction with National Hunger Awareness Day at a time convenient to your congregation. More information, along with some worship resources, is available at this website.

In addition, please consider the following ways your church can observe the day:

Pray for our nation’s hungry people.
Promote a fast on National Hunger Awareness Day. As you fast remember those who are hungry. Donate the money that would have been spent on a meal to the Society of St. Andrew or other hunger-relief ministries of your choice.
Organize a hunger-fighting group of volunteers. The Society of St. Andrew coordinates gleanings in many areas of the country. Call us for suggestions in your area.
Join Bread for the World’s 2005 Offering of Letters, “Make Hunger History.” Information is available on their website.

Study hunger—its causes and effects.
The Society of St. Andrew has produced a 12-week Bible study, “The Fast That I Choose”, that focuses on hunger in our nation and world and examines our Christian response to it. This study is appropriate for adult or youth Sunday School classes or other small groups in the church. For a hard copy of the study we ask for a donation of $10. The study is also available on CD for a donation of $5 or it can be downloaded free. Follow this link for more information.
