Zion Mennonite Church’s Youth Group in Birdsboro is partnering with World Vision for a fund raising event called the “30 Hour Famine.” The event will take place from Friday, April 29 through Saturday, April 30. During the 30 hours, participants will go without food in order to get a glimpse of what many people are experiencing around the world.
Pastor Steve Musselman of Zion Mennonite Church explained that it is a chance for the youth to “learn about people’s hunger situations through stories and activities as they raise money to combat hunger.”
Within the 30 hour time period, Zion Mennonite Youth Group will host a bake sale at BB’s Grocery Outlet in Morgantown. The sale will begin at 10 a.m. and end at noon on Saturday, April 30. The proceeds gained from the bake sale will go to improving farming techniques, providing clean water and giving emergency food supplies to areas in need.
