HUNGER BANQUET FOR HAITI

Join Uchicago's collaborative effort to tackle the crisis in Haiti and understand global hunger.

What is this? A hunger banquet is an event to raise awareness of global hunger--in this case, to put the crisis in Haiti in the context of global poverty. Each attendee will be randomly assigned to a group upon arrival. These groups reflect global food distribution statistics, and each group will receive a different meal accordingly.

This Saturday, January 30th, 6:00-7:30 PM
West Lounge, 2nd floor of Ida Noyes

$3.00 Suggested Donation. All proceeds benefit the Oxfam Haiti Response Fund
