Saturday, October 16, 9 AM - noon at The Lakes Lutheran Church Hunger 101 is a unique learning experience that provides the opportunity to take on the role of someone in Las Vegas who is at risk of hunger. More specifically, Hunger 101 in an interactive learning experience which challenges participants to come face-to-face with the gritty realities of domestic hunger. It explores the day-to- day complex, intersecting economic and social circumstances that lead to and perpetuate hunger in Southern Nevada. With a limited budget, attendees will attempt to “feed” their family for one day. The simulation attempts to recreate the realities that visiting a grocery store, food pantry, and local food stamp office hold for people at risk of hunger. Moreover, attendees will be able to discuss these issues with other community leaders and discover ways to help.
The Lutheran Advocacy Ministry in Nevada (LAMN), along with LSSN and Family Promise, is excited to host Hunger 101 in Southern Nevada. We know that advocating alongside those who are hungry is key to our ministry in this world. The reaction to the Hunger 101 experience is heartfelt and real.
Please join us on October 16 from 9am – 12noon at The Lakes Lutheran Church, located at 8200 W. Sahara. Please register for this event by emailing your name(s), daytime phone number, and congregation or community organization to Program Director Maxine Harju at maxineharju@yahoo.com. We look forward to sharing the Hunger 101 Simulation Event with you. |
