A Night of Hunger, previously scheduled to take place at MHI’s Loaves & Fishes Soup Kitchen at 2009 Congress St. on June 7th, 2024, is postponed. Please stay tuned for the rescheduled date. The immersive event challenges participants to experience a night of voluntary fasting, allowing them to empathize with the hunger millions endure daily. Those who take part will gain a firsthand understanding of the difficulties faced by the homeless and hungry, as they unite in solidarity, sharing a collective commitment to raising funds to alleviate this pervasive issue.
Participants will seek pledges and donations from friends, family, and colleagues, to reach a $120,000 goal, with all proceeds going directly toward supporting MHI’s objectives to combat hunger and homelessness. Last year, we served 105,945 meals at Loaves & Fishes and 59,276 meals in our housing programs while providing nearly 30,000 bed nights to unhoused individuals.
A Night of Hunger provides a unique opportunity for community members to actively engage in a critical social issue, raising funds while bonding to achieve a common goal. The event fosters a sense of empathy by encouraging participants to step into the shoes of those less fortunate. Corporate sponsors who align with this meaningful cause demonstrate a commitment to social responsibility through significant, amplified positive impact. This shared experience cultivates a stronger connection between our community and the cause.
We are seeking commitments of $10,000 from companies with 20 or more employees or $5,000 from small companies and start-ups or individual participants. For more information about the event or to reach out with contacts and/or referrals, please email Maureen Sanders at msanders@mhihouston.org or call (713) 724-4410. Together, let's transform a Night of Hunger into a beacon of hope for those in need.
