On Monday, April 16th from 6-8 pm in Pacific Ballroom D, Leap of Faith will be hosting the UCI Interfaith Hunger Banquet. At the Hunger Banquet, attendees will randomly draw tickets that assign them to different income levels, based on the latest statistics about the number of people living in poverty worldwide. Depending on where they sit, some will receive a filling dinner, while others will eat a simple meal or share sparse portions of rice and water. The event will feature a presentation by UCI Professor Richard Matthew on his experiences working with the United Nations World Food Programme as well as a panel discussion with interfaith leaders who serve our local community. The goal of our event is to raise awareness and share persepctives on the root causes of hunger and to hopefully motivate UCI students to do something to help.Also, we will be collecting donations of supplies for our Day of Service during the event and throughout the month, so please feel free to contribute canned foods, hygeine supplies (hotel soaps, tooth brushes, toothpaste), or toys and school supplies for homeless families to our collection at the Hunger Banquet.The event is free to UCI students, faculty, and staff with RSVP here.
