Many people across the globe are going hungry.
Help us take a ‘swipe’ at starvation.
We are a student-run organization at Purdue University, focused on addressing the global hunger crisis. We believe that students can truly make a difference in the fight against food insecurity. Our mission is to engage and educate the Purdue community in order to enact sustainable change in the fight against hunger.
In the last 4 years, over $80,000 was raised through our On-the-Go program.
Education
We serve to educate students about the issue of food insecurity.
Empowerment
Over the past 4 years, the simple decision to make a 25¢contribution has multiplied to $80,000 in support.
Sustainability
With a simple decision, students can help fund sustainable initiatives both locally and globally.
Together, we address local food insecurity
In Tippecanoe County alone, nearly 7,000 children struggle with hunger.
Local
Locally we partner with Food Finders food bank where one dollar donated is equivalent to three meals for those in need. Through our partnership, we have provided 120,000 meals and counting!
Globally
Land of a Thousand Hills seeks to address poverty with a holistic solution, meeting the social, economic, and spiritual needs of the people in the most sustainable way possible.
Helping the most remote and in-need communities abroad
Three communities in Rwanda now have clean water, a sustenance farm, and healthcare.
