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. Tom's Haiti Ministry. Thousands of low-income families depend upon these programs for food security. What should I know about hunger?
- The number of hungry people in the world has reached a record 1 billion. Hunger now affects one in six people.
- In the U.S., 36 million people live in households that experience hunger or the risk of hunger, including 13 million children.
- Approximately 60% of Lafayette school children are eligible for the free and reduced lunch program.
- In the first quarter of 2009, Food Finders Food Bank saw a 44% increase in the amount of food distributed.
- The St. John's/LUM food pantry serves over 2,000 people each month.
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." |
