Oxfam Hunger Banquet 2020
Tuesday, March 3 ~ 5:00PM to 7:00PM ~ Forum
RSVP Today! Classes and Groups Welcome!
El Barrio will be hosting an Oxfam Hunger Banquet®, an interactive experience that teaches guests about hunger and food distribution throughout the world. This is especially important as global hunger is on the rise after a steady decline for over ten years. The focus of the 2020 Hunger Banquet will be Migration.
Nearly 815 million people suffer from chronic hunger worldwide, and yet there is enough food on the planet to feed everyone. The Oxfam Hunger Banquets® have helped people understand the reality of hunger for over 40 years at thousands of events attended by more 875,000 people around the country. Before the event, guests draw tickets at random that assign each to a high, middle, or low-income level based on current statistics of people living in poverty. Each group receives a meal that corresponds to their income level. The high-income group is served a sumptuous meal; the middle-income group eats a simpler meal of rice and beans; and the low-income group receives rice and water.
