From noon on May 26 and continuing through May 27th, at 6:30, 15 OSLC youth and adults fasted for 30 consecutive hours in order to raise funds for ELCA World Hunger.
We raised $4700! The funds were sent to ELCA World Hunger, who will use it where it is most desperately needed. They work all over the globe to provide tools, seed, farm animals, and education as well as emergency resources. Thank you to our congregation, friends, and family for your incredible generosity!
The time together was spent learning about the serious issue of hunger throughout the world. The reasons and circumstances vary from one region to another, but we have begun to understand some of the impossible decisions people have to make as they struggle to survive. We were deeply touched and concerned by the things we learned.
