Fast for Hunger 2010

 

24 hours.

No Food, Just Water.

Are you up to the challenge?

By committing to fast for a day, you can help make a difference in your local community. Join Ekya's "Fast for Hunger" and raise money from friends, family and co-workers to support the Chicagoland area. Since the onset of the recession here in the US, and specifically in Chicago, food pantries have seen a huge surge in the hungry - especially from the middle class. Ekya would like to come together and raise funds for the The Greater Chicago Food Depository, which supplies most of the local pantries with food and supplies.

So, here's the deal - from August 6th at noon to August 7th at noon, we will plan on fasting. Since the Ekya picnic is on August 7th, we will all be together to "Break" the fast, and celebrate together. The more people the merrier.

Last year, we raised over $4000 for the Greater Chicago Food Depository with only 8 people.

Our goal this year is 20 people at $250 each to hit $5,000!
