Capstone Website Design is helping Support the Fight Against Hunger!
Hope Fest 4 Hunger is an effort by a team of volunteers to join the fight against hunger in Guilford County, North Carolina. Hope Fest 4 Hunger is a Multi-cultural dance event supporting Greensboro Urban Ministry and A Simple Gesture.
Why was Hope Fest 4 Hunger Started?
The levels of hunger in Guilford County are considered Extreme with Guilford County still one of the top 10 counties in the country with the most food insecurities. In fact, 1 in 4 children in our county are food insecure, meaning they don’t know where their next meal will come from. The national avg. is 1 in 7 so that really proves the continued crisis in Guilford County.
This ongoing crisis led members of First Lutheran Church to start Hope Fest 4 Hunger 6 years ago, which has now grown into a community-based team. The goal of Hope Fest is to celebrate diversity and community while raising money for hunger with 100% of proceeds staying local.
