Prepare yourself by reading articles on World Hunger, pray for World Hunger and for guidance in its solution. There are some pamphlets in the Narthex of the church at 10 cents each on World Hunger. Bring your family, friends and neighbors to the banquet and program on Sunday evening and if you are unable to attend bring or send a donation to the church for World Hunger.
