What is Oxfam’s Fast?
More than just a means of addressing hunger issues, the Fast has come to symbolize the grassroots nature of working with Oxfam America. Involvement with the Fast is about working together to end global poverty. Each year Oxfam supports thousands of organizations and individuals who organize Oxfam America Hunger Banquet® events and other signature Fast events. You may choose one of these events or create your own. To date, Fast organizers have raised more than $10 million for Oxfam America’s efforts to fight poverty. More important, over the years, Fast events and the opportunity to join Oxfam’s community have touched the lives of countless people, raising critical awareness about world poverty and hunger. By joining the Fast for a World Harvest, you not only have a chance to learn more about poverty and hunger, and raise money for Oxfam; you also have a unique opportunity to join a community of like-minded people working together toward a common goal.
