The Oxfam Hunger Banquet is not your typical lunch. It is a workshop about world hunger. Guests draw a ticket at random and receive a corresponding meal. Throughout the facilitated workshop guests are invited to share their thoughts, what they’ve learned and how they can take action. This year’s Hunger Banquet is sponsored in part by Roma Pizzeria and Serve.
If you are interested, in volunteering please contact Nurieh.
Please bring non-perishable food, toiletries, and/or monetary donations (made out to Wyoming Food Bank of the Rockies) to benefit local food banks.
