The 30 Hour Fast event for 2018 is very close to being cancelled - we simply do not yet have enough registrations to make this event happen, either from youth or parents willing to volunteer.
At this time we have commitments to PRISM, Haven Housing (the old St.Anne's and Ascension Place Women's Shelters) and Habitat for Humanity. These obligations will require at least 33 youth and around 11 all day adult volunteers (for Saturday ). Today, Monday, at 7:30pm, we have 7 youth and 3 adults registered for the event.
Erin and I have talked and we will make the decision on Tuesday afternoon based on the number of online registrations and the number of adults who email or call to let us know they will help facilitate this event.
If we need to cancel the Fast, we will make calls on Wednesday to inform our service partners that we not be able to fulfill our commitment. Anyone who has registered already, and has paid the registration fee will be reimbursed.
