Only 15 percent of the world's population can eat whenever they are hungry, and also whatever they want! Meanwhile, half the people in the world struggle every day to meet their family’s basic needs. On Wednesday, January 23, problems of poverty and hunger will come alive in an unforgettable way at the Auburn Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Hunger Banquet. The event is hosted by the AUUF Religious Education Program for Children and Youth which would like to invite you to participate in this event. Hunger is a problem that affects every part of the world. Our goal is to raise awareness and to raise money. Your donation of $5 and a can of food will benefit our local East Alabama Food Bank and Oxfam America, an international relief and development organization that is working in more than 120 countries to find lasting solutions to poverty. The Banquet begins at 6 pm on Wednesday, January 23, in the AUUF sanctuary at 450 East Thach Street in Auburn. The event will last about an hour and a half. Hamilton's Restaurant, Amsterdam Cafe, and The Barbecue House have generously donated entrees for the dinner. We are pleased that Martha Faupel, Director of the Food Bank, will offer a few words about hunger issues close to home. We hope you will plan to attend and please feel free to bring someone with you. Sincerely, Claire Crutchley Emily Livant
On Behalf of the Teachers and Children of the AUUF Religious Education Program
