Welcome to 100 Hours of
Poverty, an experiential poverty awareness event.
100 Hours asks you spend four days and four hours walking in the
shoes of one person experiencing “food insecurity.” Following
some simple guidelines, you will be asked to make meal choices on
just a few dollars a day - - the same kinds of food choices made by
families living at or below the federal poverty level every day
across the country.
The program begins on Sunday, November 6, 2011
at 1:00 pm, and runs through Thursday, November 10, 2011 at 5:00
pm. Each participant will be asked to spend no more than $27.49 on
food for the entire 100 hours. In the 100th hour, the
St. John’s University community is invited to a buffet dinner and
panel discussion about food insecurity, our social safety net, and
volunteer opportunities for helping to end hunger.
