Plainfield Teens band together to fight hunger in Oak Park
Feb 28, 2011
More than 242 youth groups in the greater Chicago area will participate in World Vision’s 30 Hour Famine – getting a real taste of hunger to help feed and care for children living in extreme poverty around the world. The Chicago groups hope to raise $363,000 and join 300,000 teens nationwide aiming to donate $11 million to fight world hunger this year. During the 30 hours, teens fast “on an empty stomach” by going without food (consuming only liquids) for 30 hours to experience what the poorest children and families face every day..
