WHAT IS THE 30 HOUR FAMINE?
- It’s a worldwide hunger awareness program to help feed the world’s poorest children.
- Our youth group goes without food for 30 hours to get a taste of true hunger.
- Through family, friends and group fundraisers we raise money to save kids’ lives.
($30 will help feed and care for a child for an entire month!) - The experience teaches us about Christ’s compassion, and about how we can help change the world.
IS WORLD HUNGER STILL A BIG ISSUE?
- Every day 26,000 children die because of hunger, disease, and poverty.
- Of those, 14,000 die as a result of malnutrition.
- Around the world, more than 850 million people are hungry – including over 300 million children.
WHY DO THE FAMINE?
- We want to feel the power of Christ’s compassion.
- It brings our youth group closer together, and in a closer relationship with Christ.
- If we don’t step up, who will?

American Red Cross Blood Drive
Thursday, May 31
Our holiday blood drive was quite successful. 47 donors gave the gift of life on December 28. Each pint of blood helps about three patients which means about 141 people benefited from the blood donations. Thank you so much for your continued support. The Red Cross was quite pleased with this successful drive.
Our next blood drive is scheduled for Thursday, May 31. Keep this date in mind!
Shoes 2 Share – Operation T.H.E.R.E.
Shoes 2 Share launched the O.T. relief effort within hours of learning of the devastating 7.0 earthquake that hit Haiti on January 12, 2010. Through communications with friends and associates in the country of Haiti, they received heart-wrenching, eyewitness accounts of great personal loss and devastation brought about by this most recent disaster. Please pray on how you can help S2S in aiding those in Haiti.
St. Andrew’s can assist by contributing in the following ways:
Donations of the following items are being accepted, but the most needed items now are TENTS, TARPS, SHOES, CLOTHING and SOCKS. While a tent is not completely adequate, it will be of great help to those that have nothing. Please consider donating your tent that is sitting in storage or by purchasing a new one.
SHOES – New and used shoes, all types and sizes in any condition.
CLOTHING – Short sleeve tops, shorts, pants, dresses, raincoats…remember the climate of Haiti.
FOOD – Rice, beans, canned vegetables & soups, tuna & other canned meats, crackers, peanut butter.
