Comments from participants
● "The Hunger 101 Simulation really put things in perspective for me. Until you walk in someone's shoes, you never really appreciate the struggles they are up against. Boxing the food items for delivery was a great team building activity and was a fun way to make a contribution."
● "The Hunger 101 experience demonstrates just how hard it is for the working poor to survive...including the navigation of the social services network. The program was "impactful" and makes you appreciate having a good job and income to support your family."
● "It was an eye-opening experience that helped me understand the daily challenges/struggles individuals need to overcome in order to provide for themselves and their family. I really did not appreciate just how hard it is to actually get assistance when needed."
● "I learned so much going through this experience. Naively, I thought that you can get what you need through food banks and assistance programs. I never thought of the concept of meeting nutritional requirements! It took so much work for my team to meet the requirements and that effort was just for one day. Having to worry about this daily for yourself and your family must be so draining."
● "I felt the interactive workshop provided some real insight in the day to day lives of many in our community, giving a real appreciation for what we have personally and a desire to do more to support those who struggle day to day....no one should be expected to carry that burden daily.”
