Hunger-thon 2010 recap

What a fantastic overnight and day after for the approximately 50 youth and adults at this year's Hunger-Thon at Holy Trinity, Buffalo on May 14-15!  Overnight we had some games, worship, and a series of workshops designed to take us deeper in our faith.  The next day we hiked up to the West Side and planted two apple trees in front of Concerned Ecumenical Ministry's building as our symbolic gesture to feed the city (all the while fasting ourselves).  Upon coming back, the parking lot was transformed into a community picnic free for all with music by the band from North Park Lutheran.  Best of all, $1,350 was raised to support Loaves and Fishes, a community soup kitchen!  Thanks to Holy Trinity, Buffalo for their leadership and to all that came and made a difference for this great event that's sure to return next year!
