Trinity Evangelical Presbyterian youth group participating in 30-hour famine this weekend

Trinity Evangelical Presbyterian Church's youth group will participate in World Vision’s 30 Hour Famine – getting a real taste of hunger to help feed and care for children living in extreme poverty around the world. They join approximately half a million teens nationwide aiming to raise more than $12 million to fight world hunger.
The youth group plans to participate this Saturday and Sunday, with more than 20 teens participating locally this year. The fasting will begin at noon on Saturday and continue until 7 p.m.on Sunday. They will consume only juice and water to experience what the poorest children in the world experience every day.
They also plan to perform a canned food drive during the 30 hour famine in hopes of making a difference in Whitley County.
To support the canned food drive, contact Andy Vanderford at (260) 403-0665.
Local teens will join half a million teens nationwide participating in the World Vision 30 Hour Famine. Last year, $12 million was raised by teens participating in the period of fasting -- aiding famine, conflict and other crises worldwide. For more information, visit www.worldvision.org.
