Action 30 hours:
Every year, I particiapate in a 30 fast with my chruch youth group to raise awareness for world hunger. This event is one of the activities I look forward to time after time because even though fasting for 30 hours seems impossible to accomplish, it is definately possible and well worth the hunger pains. It gives us the opportunity to know what hunger feels. Not only do we fast, we spend our time collecting donations after each mass and packaging over 15,000 meals to send overseas through Catholic Relief Services. We also went out in the community and collected hundreds of cans for the St. Vincent de Paul food pantry. Overall, I had an life changing experience where I spread awareness, and found a deeper love for Christ and my neighbors.
