How does the Hunger Hike help?
Hikers and their sponsors help meet the needs of hungry families in the greater Lafayette area and overseas. Donations will go to the Lafayette Urban Ministry's food programs, Food Finders Food Bank, and St. Thomas Aquinas Haiti ministry. Thousands of low-income families depend upon these programs for food security. What should I know about hunger?
- It is estimated that more than 800 million people are hungry in the world. Each year 6 million children die from hunger or hunger-related diseases.
- In the U.S., 36 million people live in households that experience hunger or the risk of hunger, including 13 million children.
- Over 15,000 persons in Tippecanoe County are eligible for Food Stamps .
- In 2006, Food Finders Food Bank distributed nearly 1 million pounds of food in Tippecanoe County.
- Over 1300 families visited the LUM/St. John's Food Pantry during the first half of 2007.
How much should I donate? One helpful suggestion is to consider a donation equal to 10% of your monthly food budget or the cost of fast food meals for a month. Please make your check payable to "Hunger Hike." |
