Addressing Hunger in Our Community: Insights and Solutions through Volunteering

DESCRIPTION

This project explores the pervasive issue of hunger in our society, highlighting its impact on development goals. By volunteering at the Siena Francis House, we learned about the stories of individuals like Peter Hayes, who received assistance to rebuild his life. Our research emphasizes that hunger is more than just a lack of food; it hinders education and productivity, affecting the entire community. This initiative calls for awareness and action to combat hunger, redirecting our focus from self-centered consumption to collective support and values-driven living.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Hunger in our Society Challenge Based Learning By: Brittany Schraeder, Kimi Miller, Taylor Hess

  2. We chose to research hunger in our community in order to understand the affect it has on our society. "Hunger stands in the way of every other development goal: malnourished children can't learn, and starving adults can't work.” -Begley

  3. To implement a solution we volunteered at the Siena Francis House.

  4. While we were volunteering we heard the story of a regular attendee at the Siena Francis House. His name is Peter Hayes and he has been receiving assistance from the Siena Francis House for two years now. He traveled here from Texas and the Siena Francis House has helped him get back on his feet.

  5. Volunteering "Where you spend your money is where you find your values:  so if you are spending every last dime on yourself – newest technology, trendiest clothes, fancy cars, etc,  your world will start to focus around you and connect only to you, if you do things for others,  your world will expand beyond just yourself.” -Jackson

  6. People will not remember your name or your face, but they will remember what you did and how it affected them for the rest of their life.
