Activities to Raise Hunger Awareness Bread for the World is a nationwide Christian citizens movement seeking justice for the world's hungry people by lobbying our nation's decision makers. The following activities have been successful on many campuses to heighten awareness of hunger and enhance the impact of advocacy activities. Food Waste Demonstrate the amount of food that students waste by weighing the food that is left on the trays and thrown away during lunch or dinner at the cafeteria. Sleep Out Host a sleep-out, inviting students to sleep outside in cardboard boxes. Fast Organize a fast.
Participants can collect pledges for each hour they fast.
If students give up a meal at a campus cafeteria, the cafeteria can donate the meals to a food shelter or money to a hunger organization. Can Drive Collect cans and dry food in bins throughout campus. Clothes can also be collected to donate to a local shelter. Musician Invite a musician or band to perform whose music deals with social justice issues. The concert can raise money as well as inspire students.
