World Vision sponsors the 30 Hour Famine, an event where students ask donors to sponsor their fasting for 30 hours. The donations are given directly to World Vision, an charity organization, that uses the majority of the funds to stamp out world hunger by providing food to those who need it.

While fasting, the students are kept busy worshiping and performing community service events. The students assist members and businesses in the community with things like house painting, yard work, canned food drives and much more.

National Famine Dates:

February 25-26, 2011

April 29-30, 2011
