30 Hour Famine

 

Thousands of teens are foregoing food today to help hungry children around the world.  It's the start of this year's 30 Hour Famine.  The Christian relief organization World Vision is behind the event that aims to raise millions of dollars to help fight hunger around the globe.  Last year's 30 Hour Famine raised nine and a half million dollars.  The goal this year is ten million.  That money will go toward poverty-relief efforts in the U.S. as well as ten other countries.
