30 Hour Famine

For the past 4 years the youth group at Mt. Auburn (a group of about 30) have participated in an event called the 30 Hour Famine. This event is hosted by a Christian organization called World Vision and the purpose is to raise money to feed the hungry and starving children of the world. World Vision has relief stations posted in impoverished countries all over the world. They are a source of hope and relief to families and children whose lives are threatened by malnutrition, severe famine, war, and diseases like HIV/AIDS.

It is our goal to raise $8000 this year. World Vision has several matching grants, which will multiply our $8000 into $40,000! That is a huge impact just from 30 kids!

$30 is enough to feed ONE child for an entire month!

Would you consider donating $30, $60, or $90 to this cause?
You can make tax deductible checks payable to World Vision, and simply mail the check to Mt. Auburn UMC: Attn: World Vision. 3100 W. Stonescrossing Rd. Greenwood, IN 46143 by August 25th, or just drop off your donation at the church office.

If you are attending the Famine, Here are some things you need to know.

The Famine begins Friday afternoon after your school lunch. We are going to try to make it as close to the full 30 hours as possible.

Then you need to be at the church approximately by 4:30 (or a little later) to begin building your home for the night.
