Faith In Action

The 30 Hour Famine is all digital!

Thousands of groups like yours are coming together to raise funds for kids who are hungry around the world. Whether you do the Famine every year, or have never done it, 2024 is the year to join!

We'll equip you with all the resources you need to lead a Famine event, in-person or virtually, that will be fun and engaging. You'll get high-quality resources—including games, activities, videos, Bible studies, and more—that empower your students to live out their faith and an online fundraising platform, where you and your students can create custom pages to send to friends and family.

Why hunger?

One in nine people in the world don’t get enough to eat. Many poor farmers can’t grow enough food to feed their own families, much less sell to get income for essentials like education and healthcare. That’s why World Vision partners with communities to address immediate food needs — but also to equip them to grow food for the long term. And this change happens when groups like yours raise money through the 30 Hour Famine!
