Hunger Banquet

Join Amnesty International, Cal Dining, and Unit 3 at our upcoming Hunger Banquet for a taste of global poverty, inequality, and hunger!

Thursday, November 12 at 5:00 p.m.
Café 3 (Unit 3 Dining Commons)


Today, we live in a world of massive disparities. More than 2.5 billion people live in poverty, including over 39 million Americans. Over 1 billion suffer from chronic hunger. Every 3.4 seconds a child dies from hunger or preventable diseases... That's 25,000 children per day.

However, the world produces enough food to feed everyone. Farmers harvest enough grain alone to provide every human being on the planet with 3,500 calories a day.

This global hunger epidemic isn't about too many people and too little food. Hunger is about power, inequality, and limited access to resources.

Join Amnesty International and Unit 3 for an interactive evening highlighting the global crisis of food distribution disparities and what YOU can do about it. Check out the Facebook event, and invite your friends!
