Goal #1:
Create a menu for you or your family that costs $5.50 per person for the whole day.
Share recipes and pictures on the Bon Air Baptist Church Missions Facebook page >
Poverty is a leading cause of world hunger. Absolute poverty is defined as living on $1.90 a day but living on less than $3.20 per day reflects poverty lines in lower-middle-income countries while $5.50 a day reflects standards in upper-middle-income countries. Poverty leads to hunger, malnutrition (acute or chronic), and food insecurity.
Goal #2:
Take pictures of every food source within 5 miles of your home: Supermarkets, local grocery stores, warehouse clubs, community gardens, farmers' markets, etc...
Share pictures and store count on the Bon Air Baptist Church Missions Facebook page >
Food insecurity is a major problem—even in developed countries like ours. A place is generally considered a food desert where access to affordable, healthy, food options (ex. fresh fruits and veggies) is limited or nonexistent because grocery stores are too far away.
Goal #3:
Food support ministries like food pantries and food banks are a major part of ending world hunger.
- Check out our partners and connect with at least one of them.
- Share pictures of you serving or connecting >
Virginia’s 10.6% food insecurity rate means that over 893,000 people may not know where their next meal will come from on any given day. With the average cost of a meal in Virginia being $3.07, Feeding America's “Map the Meal Gap” concluded that an additional $468,094,000 would be needed to meet the state’s food needs.
Goal #4:
Use your voice!!!!
Shoot a video or share a quote on your social media to bring awareness to world hunger. You have a voice to make change.
Social media can make a difference!
(best one will receive a separate prize)
Goal #5:
Give to the cause.
World hunger can't end without us committing to help with the cause. Choose one: Go to the store and buy a box/bag for a hungry family, purchase a meal for the car behind you in line, or give to our Food Pantry and to our Thanksgiving bags.
Goal #6:
Pray for none to go wanting.
Continue to use your voice to make a change in world hunger. Prayer changes things.
Share a prayer or thoughts about world hunger and for those who are hungry, those that are working to end this global problem, and the change in the world that will come when this issues is solved.
