We Scare Hunger

No one should go hungry, but 870 million around the world do every day – some of them in our own backyard. In the United States, 16.1 million children live in poverty, often unsure of where their next meal will come from

This Halloween, Good Shepherd Lutheran School is joining forces with Free the Children and taking action to ‘SCARE HUNGER’ and holding a food drive during their annual Halloween parade(s).

“This is a wonderful educational campaign,” says Director of School, Karen Kane. “46.2 million Americans live in poverty and free or price-reduced lunches are provided to 31.8 million children in America every day. This is a serious problem, and getting our students to take action is truly powerful.”
