According to the World Food Programme, over 700 million people worldwide face chronic hunger. The 24 hour famine is a poignant and impactful fundraising event that allows individuals, particularly young people, to take tangible action against this global crisis by experiencing a small portion of what millions endure every day.

According to Feeding America, one in eight people in the Heartland face hunger, and millions of Americans live with food insecurity. The color for hunger awareness is orange, a powerful symbol used to draw attention to this critical issue and mobilize communities across the nation.

According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, as people get older, they tend to lose the crucial skill of distinguishing true hunger and fullness cues, which can lead to negative health consequences. So, is it good to let yourself feel hungry occasionally to reconnect with your body's signals? The answer is nuanced, depending on the type and duration of the hunger experienced.
