Take Away Hunger Day

Take Away Hunger Day is a fundraiser event run by Feed The Hungry to reduce global hunger. Partnering with Australian Christian radio stations, thousands of children are guaranteed a nutritious meal for a whole month thanks to each Take Away Hunger Day.

Feed The Hungry is responsible for delivering meal packages to schools around the world, working to feed and nurture starving children in body, mind, and spirit. Take Away Hunger Day is focused on providing aid to refugee children in Uganda who were driven out of South Sudan by war and conflict; check out where else we serve.

For every $6, one hungry child will not have to worry about their next meal for a whole month.

All they need to think about is coming to school. They attend their classes and the prospect of a guaranteed warm lunch is incentive enough to stay, giving them the opportunity to develop their education and allow them to hope for a brighter future.

Simultaneously, the meals are filled with important nutrients and vitamins to encourage growth and helps them focus in class, helping them to learn. They also have the chance to hear the Gospel message and know peace, to live a full life in body, mind, and spirit!

Why your support matters!

Food supplies are ready. We just need to pay for delivery.

With your help, we can make sure nutritious meal packages are delivered to the hungry refugee children in Uganda. Children like Isaac who lost their homes in South Sudan due to the war, and are now rebuilding a new life in Uganda.

It is thanks to our partners in the field and our supporters (you!) that these children have the chance to live a brighter, fuller life.

$6 is enough to provide a month-worth of lunches to one child. What can you do to help?

Your impact

Just as our founder Dr Lester Sumrall was called upon to feed the bodies, souls, and spirits of the hungry around the world, so are we. Your donation, no matter how big or small, has the ability to make a huge difference for a hungry child in Uganda! You are ensuring that good nutritious food is being delivered directly to schools in Uganda, encouraging these children to not only satisfy their hungry belly but also their hungry minds and spirits.

By supplying daily lunches at their local school, children are encouraged to attend the full school day as they can focus entirely on their classwork without worrying about what they are going to eat. Being surrounded in community boosts provided emotional support and lunch is an opportunity to hear the gospel. Thank you for helping to give a child to live a fuller life, the chance to be fulfilled in body, soul and spirit — because a full life feels good!
