Why are so many people in our affluent county struggling to make ends meet?

Learn more about hunger in Sonoma County by participating in Hunger 101. We designed this hands-on learning experience for groups of 10 to 30 adults. Each person is assigned the profile of low-income individual.

Your challenge? To use your limited resources to get enough food to feed your family. You'll shop at our simulated grocery store, visit our 'soup kitchen' and 'food pantry' or apply for food stamps. This experience will guide you through the informational discussion about hunger in Sonoma County and what you can do to help alleviate this problem.

Hunger 101 is a thought-provoking way for your community service group, business, congregation or club to learn more about hunger in our community. Geared towards adults, this one hour class is free of charge and can be conducted here at REFB or at a meeting place of your choice.

To schedule Hunger 101 or arrange for someone to speak to your group about hunger issues, contact Jim Roessler at 523-7900 ext. 23.
