Hungry? They are too. 

Did you know that one in nearly seven people go hungry? Out of the world population of 6.7 billion, 925 million people suffer from starvation and the health complications that follow.

There IS enough food to feed everyone in the entire world. Let’s share it.

Join Food For Thought in tackling their hunger, and yours, at the first ever Rise Up For Rice Event on Tuesday November 30th from 11:00 a.m.- 1:00 p.m. in Clark Lounge.

We will be playing a trivia game on Freerice.com, a non-profit website funded by the United Nations World Food Programme, to challenge our brains and raise some rice for the hungry. For each question we get right, 10 grains of rice will be donated to the cause. 

Participants may play alone, or come during lunch hour (noon-1:00 p.m.) to participate in a Power Hour, where we where we will race against the clock to see how much rice we can raise.

FREE food will be served to those who attend!

Come to learn, EAT, and help those who are suffering from hunger worldwide.

We can’t wait to see you there!
